Seat Robert is a hill in the east of the English Lake District, south west of Shap, Cumbria. It is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland.{{cite book|last=Wainwright|first=A.|authorlink=Alfred Wainwright|title=The Outlying Fells of Lakeland|year=1974|publisher=Westmorland Gazette|location=Kendal|pages=236–241|chapter=Seat Robert}} It reaches {{convert|1688|ft|m}}, and has a cairn and an Ordnance Survey "ring" at ground level rather than the usual trig point column. Wainwright's route is a clockwise circuit from Swindale reaching Seat Robert by way of Langhowe Pike at {{convert|1313|ft|m}} and Great Ladstones at {{convert|1439|ft|m}}, and continuing over High Wether Howe at {{convert|1705|ft|m}} and Fewling Stones and {{convert|1667|ft|m}}. The first section of his route follows the Old Corpse Road, a corpse road, along which corpses were carried from Mardale to be buried at Shap.
