| Comments: | A circuit around Semer Water seemed an appropriate way to end a walking holiday. It was a shame that there was a low lying mist which meant that we didn't get the lovely views of the water sparkling in the sun. The footpath along the west side of the lake was rough and very muddy. | ||
The water looked very rough but that hadn't deterred 3 wild water swimmers.
Looking back across Semer Water on our way to . . .
St Matthew's Church at Stalling Busk, built in 1909
An earlier chapel . . .
was rebuilt in 1722 . . .
and the ruins . . .
can be found nearby
The ford across Cragdale Water looks rather deep . . .
so we will take the footbridge
Walking back along the road there are many dilapidated field barns to be deen though this looks more like a house
Our parking spot comes into view . .
as we take a last look across the water . . .
before descending to the water's edge . . .
to find the Carlow Stone . . .
where Luna thinks it's time to leave . . .
after one more shot
