Great Shunner fell & lovely seat
Summary
Located on the north side of the Yorkshire Dales just off Hawes in a small town called Hardraw. I parked on a lay-by near the Hardraw sign. Here I began the walk which was on clear paths up to Cotterdale. It was a sunny wintery day, blue skies, light winds and views for miles and miles of rolling hills. The path up to Great Shunner Fell is easy to follow due to well displayed cairns , past that it becomes a bit tricky and less visible and you might end up walking through marshy conditions, which makes it hard walking conditions up to lovely seat and down to the bottom of buttertups pass. The seat wasn’t that Lovely when I got there! If you are not used to walking in these conditions you might end losing your foot a couple of times (which I did) and takes a bit longer to navigate your way through. However, this is a great walk if you are looking for a bit of piece of quiet and solitude.
