Semerwater

A beautiful place. You have to pay and display. You can walk or drive to the farm up the road to do that. It isn't a problem. The lady who saw to us was lovely. You can't stay there and not pay. They do check. There's no toilets or shops so If you do your research before you visit then you won't be disappointed. I love this place. It's so peaceful and serene.

Lovely quite location, has a lot of paddle boarders enjoying the lake. The car park at the end is quite large and for a small fee of £3.00 which you have to pay at the farm 300 yards down the road and display your ticket. All done on a self service basis with cash into the box. The car park is checked by the farmer on his quad blke for those who think it does not apply to them, and he does confront the non payers. There is a path all round the lake of just about 4.5 miles. Ground is rough and uneven in places so you do require good walking boots, shoes. There is no coffee. tea shops anywhere on route around contrary to a guide book by Paul Hannon so take your own. Found a lovely abandoned church on the way round overlooking the lake.

Lovely place for a walk around the lake.

A beautiful and peaceful place. Don't rush. Take the walk from Bainbridge to Countersett past the lake then up and over Bracken Hill that will give you the most glorious views of the lake and Raydale. Have some lunch in the Rose and Crown at Bainbridge which is a lovely, friendly pub. This is a glorious part of England I cannot recommend highly enough.

Went for a great walk around Semer water. Park at the lake and head towards the farm to pay. About £2. Once payed come out of the farm cross the road and go over the stile. Keep going all along the lake eventually you will come to a disused chapel. After another two fields follow the path to the village of Marsett. Now you have a choice head back to the car via the road (about a 3 mile round walk) or after the bridge turn left up the track (4.5 Miles) After 150m turn into the field signed footpath and head straight up the hill. It is worth it!! Once at the top turn right and enjoy the views. After about a half a mile follow the right hand track after a gate and head back down the hill to the road and then to the car park.
