📖 Key Information

Seat Robert at 591m (1,939ft) is a grassy summit on the ridge between High Street and Riggindale above Haweswater, giving views across the reservoir to the Kidsty Pike ridge. A Birkett fell on the eastern flanks of the High Street range above Haweswater. The views of the reservoir from this less-visited eastern ridge are fine.

Free mapping: OpenTopoMap / OpenStreetMap (switch layers top-right). Parking positions are approximate.

🎯 Bonus Birketts within 3 km

These Birkett tops are not Wainwright summits — detour to them on this walk and they are pure profit. Distances are straight-line; allow extra for terrain.
