Scout Scar

235m

Scout Scar is a HuMP, 235m high, in the Lake District National Park. The HuMPs are hills in Britain and Ireland with at least 100 metres of prominence, whatever their height.

Kendal is the nearest station, 2.1 mi (about 3 mi on foot), so the summit is within walking distance of the train. From Kendal it's about 1.5 hours to the summit, 1 in 16 on average. Burneside (Cumbria) is next, 2.4 mi (about 3 to 3.5 mi on foot), and 7 stations are within 10 miles in all.

Scout Scar, also called Underbarrow Scar, is a hill in the English Lake District, west of Kendal, Cumbria and above the village of Underbarrow. It reaches 771 feet (235 m). Scout Scar is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland, but the summit he describes is a lower summit at 764 feet (233 m), 270m south of the highest point. Wainwright's anticlockwise recommended route also includes Cunswick Scar at 679 feet (207 m). The higher summit of Scout Scar has a topographic prominence of 109m and is thus classified as a HuMP, a hill with a prominence of at least 100m.
