High Seat, Mountain summit in Yorkshire Dales, United Kingdom.
High Seat reaches an elevation offering views across the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with stone paths leading through grass and limestone formations.
Local shepherds established the first routes to High Seat in the 1800s, creating paths for moving sheep between grazing areas across the seasons.
The summit remains a gathering point for fell runners participating in annual competitions that connect multiple peaks in the Yorkshire Dales.
Visitors should bring water, maps, and warm clothing as weather conditions can change rapidly, with limited shelter available on the exposed summit.
The summit contains rare limestone pavement formations that support specialized plant species adapted to survive in the cracks between rocks.
