📖 Key Information

Little Sca Fell at 605m (1,985ft) is the companion summit to Great Sca Fell in the Back o' Skiddaw country, its broad top giving views across the northern moorlands and to the Solway. A Birkett fell on the open plateau north of Skiddaw. Most naturally combined with Great Sca Fell and Knott for a full Back o' Skiddaw circuit. Quiet, remote fell country at its most characteristic.
