    Semerwater August 2024 - In search of a family grave.

    I've done Semerwater a few times, it's great to park right by the shoreline and makes for a couple of good photos. I visited a few weeks where mam and I parked at Stalling Busk and walked down to the ruins of a chruch and was told of a family grave

    Leaving Tiggy by the side of Semerwater I had a hike around the edge of Semerwater.

    Starting with a steep uphill trek to the paragliders where I met a couple of locals...

    But they were more interested in the view, and the paraglider

    After hiking along the top of the hill I turned right, heading north, just to see over the hill. Then turned around and headed back in the direction of Semerwater. A nice downhill walk through fields down to the village of Marsett.

    Walking along the bottom of the valley following Marsett Beck then a bit of an uphill towards Stalling Busk but turning left a field before you get to the village.

    The final bit of the hike is quite level as you walk along the bottom of the valley near the East bank of Semerwater. I kept to the path but others do head right along the shoreline of Semerwater.

    On the way there is a derelict church with a gravestone of my relatives, the Heseltine family.

    This is the route...
