About

Pike of Stickle is a natural landmark in north west. (Mountain in the English Lake District, Cumbria, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Pike of Stickle, also known as Pike o’ Stickle, is a fell in the English Lake District. It reaches a height of 709 metres (2,326 ft) and is situated in the central part of the national park in the valley of Great Langdale. The fell is one of three fells which make up the picturesque Langdale Pikes, one of the best-known areas in Lakeland. A 'stickle' is a hill with a steep prominent rocky top, while a 'pike' is a hill with a peaked summit, the name being therefore partly tautological."
