Leave the car park and turn right onto the narrow road. |

After about 400 yards you reach Low Blean Farm (where you should have paid the car park charge and obtained the pay and display ticket). | |
![]() |
Climb the ladder stile opposite the farm and walk along the clear footpath. A gated stile leads into | |
![]() |
the next field. A stone stile takes you into the next field. The path runs to the right of the field barn (pictured) and over a stone stile. Following this there is a gated stile | |
![]() |
then the wooden stile in this photograph. The path continues | |
![]() |
through this gateway (the large gate looked as though it hadn't been closed for a long time). | |
![]() |
To the right of the path we explored the ruins of Stalling Busk Old Church. | |
![]() |
After leaving the ruined church, head towards the gate pictured. Once through the gate, we took the left fork (though the right hand path cuts both a corner and a brief climb). Pass through a wooden gate | |
![]() |
and follow path by a stone wall on the right. At the top the path is stepped and then leads over a gated stile | |
![]() |
to cross a farm track and emerges on a surfaced road by a finger post. Turn right along the road. | |
![]() |
The new church is on your left. Turn right down the track (Busk Lane) that leaves the road at the far corner of the churchyard. | |
![]() |
Follow the track downhill. In places it is quite steep and the stones are slippery when wet. Continue along the lane as it levels out and crosses | |
![]() |
a concrete bridge. Continue along the lane | |
![]() |
At this point the river seems to have burst its bank - route to the left appears to be well used. Follow this narrow path round the back of the tree | |
![]() |
until the water runs back into the stream and you can re-join the stony track. | |
![]() |
The track leads to a ford, but follow the path to the left to cross the beck by means of a footbridge. | |
![]() | The lane continues to run alongside the stream and through a couple of gates until,
||
![]() |
you reach the green at Marsett. Walk across the grass, re-joining the road to the right of the telephone box. Turn right along the road and cross Marsett Beck. | |
![]() |
If you wish to avoid the steep climb and shorten the route by over a mile, continue along the road. But to enjoy the magnificent views from the ridge, turn left to follow a stony track signposted for Burterestt and Hawes. | |
![]() |
After a little over 200 yards, look out for this metal gate on the right. Climb the stile to the left of it. | |
![]() |
The path leads quite steeply up the hillside, over a stile, through this gateway and over another stile by a metal gate. | |
![]() |
When you reach this ladder stile you're nearly at the top! | |
![]() |
Before reaching the highest point, we turned right to follow a grassy path north east. Although it wasn't very clear to start with | |
![]() |
it became clearer and lead to | |
![]() |
this gateway. The path passed through an area of shakeholes and provided superb views | |
![]() |
before starting to descend to the gateway and stile pictured. | |
![]() |
The path winds fairly gently downhill. | |
![]() |
Continue to follow the path through this gate and then a wooden gate | |
![]() |
and finally the wooden gate pictured. Then turn right onto a narrow road. Continue to walk along the road, passing a sign saying that you are in Countersett. | |
![]() |
At the road junction pictured turn right and then immediately left, in the direction of Stalling Busk. The road descends steeply to return you to the car park at Semer Water. |
