Lovely Seat (675m) was originally known as Lunasett. It is the highest point of Abbotside Common, the high ground separating Swaledale from Wensleydale. There is a cairn atop and a stone chair (is this is why it's called Lovely Seat?): there are terrific views of the Yorkshire Peaks from here to the south.

Lovely Seat is a UK designated Nuttall at 675 metres and not that far from Cliff Gate Road, where there is a small parking space. I wish I could say something about the views, but I didn't see anything today.
