Topic: Seathwaite Fell


  
  Seathwaite Fell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seathwaite Fell is an area of the Lake District in Cumbria, England.
The earliest pencils were made of graphite found on Seathwaite Fell, which was used by the local farmers for marking their sheep.
The fell is invariably climbed from Seathwaite, taking the bridleway from Stockley Bridge which goes to Styhead Tarn for a kilometre, passing the waterfall of Taylorgill Force, before striking south westerly over rocky terrain to reach the cairned "Wainwright" summit which only reaches a height of 601 metres (1970 feet).

 List of fells in the Lake District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of fells, hills, mountains, groups of mountains and subsidiary summits and tops in the Lake District, England.
These are the 214 fells selected by Alfred Wainwright for a chapter in his seven Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells.

This is the yard of Stan Edmondson's farm at Seathwaite.
A few minutes later and I've arrived at Allen Crags, 2572 ft. Surprisingly, this fell is far less famous than it deserves to be and many walkers regard it as a minor top that needs to be crossed on the way to Glaramara.

 Seathwaite circuit
We took the next objective Seathwaite Fell head-on, climbing E directly from the footbridge on the R of a boulder field.
Seathwaite Fell is flanked by two major Lakeland highways carrying hordes of people bound for higher mountains, but few climb it.
Wainwrighters visit the minor rocky N top, which is not the summit, but judging by the one faint path, not many explore the lovely tarns and rocky knolls that make this mountain so rewarding.

 Seathwaite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Seathwaite is the starting point for many a long day in the high central fells.
Although it is renowned as the wettest place in England, the weather has always been fine whenever I have been there - and there are rumours to the effect that the rain-gauge involved is also an excellent place to relieve yourself after a refreshing drink in the farmyard café...
Allen Crags on the left is dropping towards Esk Hause, and Seathwaite Fell in the centre-right of the picture is hiding the highest fells.

Our plan for most of this holiday was therefore to start at Seathwaite, from where there is good access to the Scafells and a lot of the other highest fells.
The route to Stockley Bridge goes straight through the Farm and then towards Seathwaite Fell, which is skirted on its left side.
The path from Stockley Bridge along the River Derwent to Seathwaite Farm is quite lush with vegetation and wild flowers.

The first graphite ever discovered was found in the Seathwaite Valley on the side of the mountain Seathwaite Fell in Borrowdale, near Keswick in about 1500.
The popular story is that, following a very violent storm, the shepherds went out in the morning to see their sheep on the mountain side and found a number of trees had been blown down tearing away the subsoil as they fell and leaving exposed to view large masses of fl material.
Pieces were dug out and the shepherds first thought it was coal, but as it would not burn they were at a loss to understand it.

You reach it by a roundabout route that involves leaving the Watendlath path just short of the summit and turning left to tackle a mix of gates, stiles, woodland paths and open pastures.
Grange Fell is blessed by plenty of "furniture" such as drystone walls, miniature outcrops and stands of trees.
Grange Fell's principal top, Brund Fell, lies off to the right about halfway along and can be climbed by a steep but straightforward slog.

 Allen Crags and Glaramara
I am always dubious about giving advice and directions after agreeing with a couple of lost fell runners in a blizzard on Crinkle Crags that we were at point X on the map when we were actually on the wrong side of the ridge and heading into Eskdale instead of Langdale!
I quickly added that we would be probably be getting to Seathwaite via the ridge down to Seatoller just for my peace of mind in case he thought that we were going down the direct route via Hind Gill.
A family of walkers passed us and as we reached civilization at last, well a road at least, it soon became obvious that they had better knowledge than us as their car was there waiting for them by the side of the road to Thorneythwaite Farm.
