Listing = Marilyn, Hewitt, NuttallRogan's Seat is a remote
hill located nearEast Stonesdale andGunnerside Gill , in theYorkshire Dales inEngland .It is a high expanse of
moorland that stretches alongsideSwaledale , Swinner Gill and Gunnerside Gill. It is the joint 17th highest fell inNorth Yorkshire along withGreat Knoutberry Hill .There has been controversy about how specifically the summit can be reached via a direct footpath; however, landowners of the
Yorkshire grouse moors were tolerant in deciding not to publish a correct right of way for walkers. Despite this drawback, it attracts a lot of local interest, particularly being just 2 kilometres from the lower Valleywaterfalls in Gunnerside Gill.The most appropriate route to ascend Rogan's Seat to its summit would be to divert leftbound from Gunnerside Gill and follow a bridleway track north for 2 kilometres. The track is fairly flat but for explorative walkers the journey back down the same route can become tedious.
The views are not special due to the wide expanse of moorland, although
Great Shunner Fell ,Ingleborough andWhernside can be seen to the west.
