This is the highest point on the ridge on the eastern side of the Mallerstang valley (709m). A superbly wild, remote - and very windy - place, with outstanding 360 degree views. From here, you will see Great Shunner Fell and Gregory Chapel, closer by.

This is the kind of place where you will feel really free. The amount of open space around you and the wind in your ears is amazing.

Make sure you go to the highest point as there are a few cairns near High Seat so don’t be confused and miss the actual summit point
