It is a prominent outcrop of millstone grit on the eastern side of Wharfedale. Although only {{convert|485|m}} high, the extensive views from the summit make it a popular destination for walkers. Simon's Seat is on private land of the Bolton Abbey Estate. There are no public footpaths to the summit, but the summit is on access land. It is usually reached by a permissive route which leads north from Bolton Abbey across the River Wharfe up the Valley of Desolation.[1] The route leads across Barden Fell, which is a grouse moor, somethimes closed to the public during the shooting season.[2] The summit can also be reached by shorter but steeper paths from Howgill or Skyreholme, one mile north of the summit.[3] NameThere are several explanations of the origin of the name. It was first recorded in 1771, and may have been named after an owner of the estate in a similar way to the nearby crags named Lord's Seat and Earl Seat.[4] A traveller in 1838 recorded a local tale that the crag was named after an infant found there by a shepherd, who named the child Simon.[5] The 19th century antiquarian Henry Speight thought that it was a high place of Druidic worship, named after the legendary Simon Druid or Simon Magus.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/visit-the-dales/discover-the-dales/hills-and-moors/simons-seat|publisher=Yorkshire Dales National Park|title=Simon's Seat|accessdate=18 October 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://boltonabbey.com/what-to-see/valley-of-desolation-simons-seat/|publisher=Bolton Abbey Estate|title=Valley of Desolation & Simon's Seat|accessdate=18 October 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Simon's Seat from Howgill|url=http://myyorkshiredales.co.uk/walks/simons-seat-from-howgill//|publisher=My Yorkshire Dales|accessdate=18 October 2018}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Smith|first=A.H.|authorlink=Albert Hugh Smith|title=The Place-names of the West Riding of Yorkshire|volume=6|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1961|page=62}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|publisher=The Northern Antiquarian|title=Simon's Seat, Skyreholme, North Yorkshire|url=https://megalithix.wordpress.com/2008/10/26/simons-seat-skyreholme/|accessdate=18 October 2018}} External links{{ commons category-inline|Simon's Seat}} 2 : Peaks of the Yorkshire Dales|Wharfedale |
