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.
