Lord's Seat is a 1,811-foot (552 m) Wainwright fell in the Lake District. It's most commonly hiked alongside Broom Fell, Barf or Whinlatter (or all three). There are beautiful views from the top with a bit of everything: forest, lake and open fellside.

Lovely Wainwright to do and the walk over from Broom Fell is easy and on good paths. Normally an in-between Wainwright between Broom Fell and Barf. All have great views.
