Semer Water and Marsett Walk

If you are after a beautifully scenic walking route in Yorkshire Dales National Park that features a bit of uphill walking without making the route too difficult overall, then the Semer Water and Marsett Walk is a great option. Beautiful views of the vibrant green countryside, calm lakes, and charming villages await on this lovely adventure.

Setting out from the car park on the eastern shore of Semer Water, you will make your way initially to the southeast along the road before turning off onto a footpath leading to the southwest. Here, you will walk along the scenic shores of Semer Water and gaze out across the calm surface of the lake.

After traversing the open countryside to the southwest, you will pass through the charming village of Marsett, before making the fairly steep, but achievable climb uphill across the moor. Reaching the top, you will head to the northeast and enjoy stunning views across the Yorkshire Dales and Semer Water below, eventually descending the hillside on the return back to the car park.
