Just how do you pronounce Scafell?
Following letters in The Westmorland Gazette about just how you should say the name of the Lakeland fell, we ran an online vote to gather your views.
More than 200 people voted and here is the result:
Scar-fell - 63%
Scaw-fell - 29%
Scaffle - 5%
Scarfle - 2%
Scow-fell - 1%
So it seems the majority of people say 'Scar-fell'. But if anyone can say definitively how the word should be pronounced, please comment below.
