Z50_1167- Semerwater
Semerwater is the second largest natural lake in North Yorkshire, England, after Malham Tarn. It is half a mile long, covers 100 acres and lies in Raydale (which is s small side-dale to the main dale, Wensleydale), opposite the River Bain.
The two large boulders are known as the Mermaid Stones and were dumped here in the Ice Age. Thousands of years of wave action have smoothed their surfaces ( very often the water level rises above the level in the photo, and the prevailing wind forms waves which erode the rocks' surface over time)
