Lovely Seat is a fell in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England which reaches a height of 675 metres (2215 feet). It is situated at grid reference gbm4ibx|SD878950 five kilometres north of the town of Hawes, and is part of the high ground which separates Wensleydale from Swaledale. It is the highest point of Abbotside Common. 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 fell is very rarely climbed directly from the valley and is usually ascended from the top of the Buttertubs Pass in conjunction with nearby Great Shunner Fell, which is climbed firstly from Hawes or Thwaite using the Pennine Way, it is then a short walk to descend to the top of the pass and then climb to the summit of Lovely Seat following a fence which helps navigation in bad conditions. The summit is adorned by a fair size cairn and a stone built chair, and gives good views of the Yorkshire three peaks to the south. 300 metres west of the summit are a series of stone cairns which are clearly visible on the skyline when the fell is viewed from distance.

Footnote

#There is some controversy whether Lovely Seat actually qualifies as a Marilyn hill because there is doubt if it has the required 150 metres of Topographic prominence from the Buttertubs Pass, the height of the pass on the OS map is 526 metres giving re-ascent of only 149 metres. The fell did not appear in Alan Dawson’s original 1992 book but has been added later and seems to have been accepted as a Marilyn nevertheless.
