Overview

Lake Semerwater 6 images

Semerwater is the largest Glacial Lake in North Yorkshire and is the source of the shortest River in the Country - the River Bain. The Lake is in Raydale, a small dale with 3 Hamlets Countersett, Marsett and Staling Busk.

Semerwater has inspired many an Artist; Poet and more recently Photographers; TV Programme Makers and Folk Singers through its myths and legends.

The Legend of Semerwater tells of a beggar who once visited a thriving city called Semer. There he asked for food and shelter. He was turned away and ignored. He called at a small cottage nearby where he was given food and a place to rest. The next morning he cursed the city with the following words: “Semerwater rise Semerwater sink and bury the town all save the house where they gave me meat and drink.”

The Legend has been told and passed down through generations in stories and verse. One of the most famous adaption’s is a poem by Sir William Watson called the Ballad of Semerwater.

Semerwater was also discovered by the Artist William John Turner in July 1816 on one of his many tours and is now part of the Turner Trail.

Semerwater is ideal for course and brown trout fishing, canoeing, sailing and windsurfing which create an interesting spectacle for anyone wishing to sit and enjoy the views; wildlife or take a picnic.

It is also an ideal base for walkers and mountain cyclists. In Raydale there are a variety of footpaths for walkers and green lanes and bridal ways for cyclists.

Semerwater is an unspoilt remote and none commercialised location which is perfect for those wishing to remove themselves from the beaten track.

The lake side is ideal for wild camping and wild swimming for those who are looking to get back to nature. Campers can sleep under starlit skys and wake up to an unrestricted view of the Lake.

Semerwater has played host to events such as the Yorkshire Dales Triathlon and the Sue Rider Charity Swim.
