Path down to Semer Water There are only two lakes in the Yorkshire Dales, Malham Tarn and Semer Water. Semer Water was formed during the last Ice Age by a moraine which effectively dammed the valley. The lake today is a shadow of its former self but is still three miles in circumference and 45 feet deep. This is the footpath back down to Semer Water in evening sunlight.
