Cunswick Scar is a limestone scar in the Lake District.
There are extensive views from the large cairn at the top 207m.
The scar is listed in the Scout Scar chapter of Wainwright's The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.

Scout Scar, also called Underbarrow Scar, is a hill in the Lake District, west of Kendal, Cumbria and above the village of Underbarrow. It reaches 235m.
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 233m 270m south of the highest point.
Wainwright's anticlockwise recommended route also includes Cunswick Scar at 207mThe 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.

Scout Scar and Cunswick Scar are both formed of Carboniferous Limestone and dip gently towards the east with a steep western scarp slope.
At the lower, southern, summit there is a shelter, locally known as "The Mushroom". It was built in 1912 as a memorial to King George V, and restored in 1969 and again in 2003.
The structure includes a toposcope indicating the Central Fells and other landmarks.
