Semer Water is the second largest natural lake in England, the first being Malham Tarn. It is half a mile long. Beside walkers like yourself, it attracts people who like canoeing and fishing or anyone who loves beautiful natural places in beautiful settings.
On the northern bank, there is a car park, which is a good starting point. Spot the massive boulder nearby - these are called erratics, not native to this area, and carried over during the last Ice Age by the glacier. The same glacier carved the entire valley and, indeed, the lake.
