Far from the only summit with the name, this Lord’s Seat is the highest point of a ridge in the beautiful Peak District National Park. The ridge is Rushup Edge and while it does have magnificent views, there’s no need to rush up the ascent, which takes you to an elevation of 1,804 feet (550 m). The top resides in the High Peak area, next to the Edale and Hope Valleys.

This Highlight is in a protected area
