Seatallan

Seatallan is a mountain summit in the western Lake District reaching 692 meters in height. Its slopes are covered with grass and create an open landscape with few trees or dense vegetation.

The name Seatallan comes from the Cumbric language and refers to high pasture lands. The mountain is part of an older geological formation that shaped the western Lake District highlands.

The mountain forms part of the established walking routes in the Lake District, marked by a summit cairn that connects to neighboring peaks.

The mountain can be reached through several walking routes, with the main path starting from Pots of Ashness and clearly marked throughout. Visitors should wear proper footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions that are common at this elevation.

The rock at Seatallan consists of a special volcanic formation called Seatallan Dacite that geologists have named after the peak. This material is relatively rare in the region and gives the summit its distinctive geological character.
