Seat How

The walk up Seat How rewards you with proper Wensleydale views - a sharp limestone peak that doesn't look much from the car park but delivers once you're on it. It's a straightforward fell rather than a technical climb, maybe 45 minutes from the bottom depending on fitness, and the path is well-trodden enough that you won't get lost.

You get the classic Yorkshire Dales panorama from the top: rolling green valleys, stone walls running in every direction, and on a clear day you can pick out the higher peaks beyond Leyburn. It's not a dramatic summit - no cairn, no shelter - but that's part of its charm. Feels less crowded than some of the better-known climbs in the area.

Walkers will find this a solid half-day outing, especially if you combine it with a wander through Leyburn itself or another peak nearby. Families with older kids will manage it fine; younger ones might struggle with the pushchair. The ground gets boggy in places after rain, so proper boots matter.

It fits nicely into a park holiday based at either Park Leisure or Eastfield Glamping Farm - both within striking distance - as a morning or early afternoon activity. Admission is free, which is always welcome, and there's no particular season that makes it better or worse. Midweek in autumn tends to be quieter if you prefer fewer people on the path. Not life-changing, but a proper little hill that does what it says on the tin.
