Roman Road in Yorkshire Dales National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

More evidence of the legacy left across England by the Roman empire after it came to these shores in AD43. Roman roads were typically straight, and astonishingly well made: this one is no exception. Presumably the Romans didn't have corner shops.

View of Semer Water from the South-East Bank

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

From the south-east bank here, there are terrific views across the water to Marsett on this nice little footpath. Sunsets can be completely spellbinding.

Semer Water

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.
