The summit features a prominent trig point, which is a favourite spot for photographs. Perfect for pretending you’re on top of the world, or at least on top of a hill!
Lord's Seat is primarily composed of volcanic rock, with a landscape shaped by ancient glacial activity. You might say it was 'carved out' by time, much like a fine piece of art.
From the summit, enjoy breathtaking views of Bassenthwaite Lake and the sprawling landscapes of the surrounding fells, including Skiddaw, one of the highest peaks in the area.
The name 'Lord's Seat' has historical roots, likely referring to the old customs of nobility hunting in the area.
The mountain is often visited by walkers and nature enthusiasts, providing a slice of tranquillity amongst the busy Lake District.
A pleasing circular walk starting from the south end of the forest.
