About

Lovely Seat is a mountain in north west. (Peak in the Yorkshire Dales, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Lovely Seat, originally known as Lunasett, is a fell in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. Situated at grid reference SD878950 three miles north of the town of Hawes, it is part of the high ground which separates Wensleydale from Swaledale and the highest point of Abbotside Common reaching a height of 675 metres. The fell is separated from its neighbour to the west, Great Shunner Fell, by the Buttertubs Pass which carries the minor motor road between Hawes in Wensleydale and Thwaite in Swaledale. The name Lunasett derives from the Norse dialect moon pasture; Commoners of Abbotside still use the original name. It appears as Lovely Seat in an Ordnance Survey map of 1856."
