Seathwaite Fell

Seathwaite Fell is a mountain in the Lake District with a height of 632 meters and a northern peak of 601 meters. The summit area features rocky outcrops that spread across a longer ridge.

The mountain shows traces of sheep grazing over several centuries that shaped the landscape of the Lake District as it appears today. This traditional use by herders has left a lasting mark on the slopes and grassland.

The fell appears in numerous Lake District hiking guides, with different interpretations of its true summit location creating ongoing discussions among mountaineers.

The ascent can start from Stockley Bridge and follows a marked path toward Styhead Tarn up to the northern summit area. The route is passable in most weather, but the area tends to build up rain and fog quickly.

This location receives around 3,550 millimeters of rainfall annually and ranks among the wettest spots in England. The moisture has created numerous small mountain lakes that dot the summit area.
