Hiking

Seathwaite Fell is a 2,073-foot (632 m) mountain in the Lake District. It is sandwiched in between Great Gable to the west and Glaramara to the east on a craggy spur which stretches north away from Sprinkling Tarn. The terrain of the fell is grassy, peaty and rocky and it is also smattered with small pools. Seathwaite Fell gets to appreciate Great End from its 'best side' as it looms up from the south as well as offering a charming view down Borrowdale.

Hiking

Seathwaite Fell stands at 632 metres and is a designated Wainwright. It is a lovely hill, sandwiched between some of the famous giants of the Lake District. Seathwaite is a complex top, featuring multiple summits like its bigger neighbour Glaramara. However, it is a stunning place, and on a good day you can spend an age up here basking amongst some beautiful tarns. It is not the busiest of hills either, so that's another good reason for coming up here.
