| Post on the summit of Lord's Seat |
"Some mountains have better names than they deserve and some deserve better names than they have. Lord's Seat is a fine title for any ultimate peak amongst the clouds, and while the modest Lakeland fell of this name hardly aspires to the notability it suggests it is a pleasing recognition of the commanding position and superior height of this central point."
Lord's Seat is the highest of the group of hills north of Whinlatter Pass in the North Western Fells, it is characterised by having heavily forested slopes. It is a central point of the fell group and sends out a number of additional ridges, each containing a marked peak or two.
Despite the forestry, the very top of Lord's Seat is a smooth grassy dome, marked by a lonely metal post.
Being the highest point north of Whinlatter, Lord's Seat possesses an uninterrupted view towards Scotland. The Northern Fells are visible over Bassenthwaite.
