High Seat (Yorkshire Dales)

High Seat is a fell in the dale of Mallerstang, Cumbria. With a summit at Script error: No such module "convert"., it is the fourth highest fell in the Yorkshire Dales after Whernside, Ingleborough and Great Shunner Fell.[1] It is in the north-western part of the Dales, overlooking the deep trench of Mallerstang, and is usually climbed from this side.[2]
To the south-east is Hugh Seat (whose summit is marked by Lady Anne's Pillar, commemorating Sir Hugh de Morville). On the opposite (western) side of Mallerstang is the more striking (but 1 metre lower) Wild Boar Fell.
It is not a Marilyn, having a relative height of 112 m, and therefore may be regarded as a subsidiary top of Great Shunner Fell, to the east. It is, however, a HuMP.
Oddly enough, it is the highest point on the main England east-to-west watershed in the Dales, the three higher fells being some distance from the watershed.
Three main rivers have their origins in the peat bogs here: the River Eden, the River Swale, and the River Ure.[3]
