Top o'Selside, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
Top o'Selside rises to 335 meters above sea level, marking the highest point between Coniston Water and Windermere lakes in Cumbria.
During the 14th century, the mountain area served as a base for brigands led by Adam de Beaumont who controlled the region for seventeen years.
The mountain features in Alfred Wainwright's Pictorial Guide to the Outlying Fells, documenting a circular route from High Nibthwaite through multiple cairns.
Visitors can access the summit through a two-mile path that starts from the parking area at grid reference SD 299927 on the western slopes.
Arnsbarrow Tarn, a small water body near the summit, formed between moraines left by two glaciers that moved down separate valleys.
