About Seatallan
Seatallan rises north-west of Wast Water above Nether Wasdale, at the southern end of the high ground that runs down from Haycock. It is a big, smooth hill of grass, with steep slopes dropping east into Greendale. Middle Fell lies 1.6km to the south-east and Haycock, the nearest higher fell, 2.3km north. Buckbarrow is a rocky spur 2.4km to the south.
A popular round starts at Greendale on the Wasdale road and climbs beside Greendale Gill to Greendale Tarn. From the tarn you turn west up the grassy slope to the summit. You can come back over Middle Fell. The ground is grass throughout and wet near the tarn.
The summit carries a trig pillar and a large heap of stones, a prehistoric burial cairn. On a clear day you look out over the coastal plain to the Irish Sea.
