• walk along the River Bain - the shortest river in England - to Lake Semerwater, the largest natural lake in Yorkshire http://www.lakesemerwater.co.uk/
• view the Archimedes’ Screw on the river Bain from the Bridge
• sit at the park and let the children have fun on the play equipment, or use the football goals
• walk up the Roman Road, drop down into Marsett, then over to Stalling Busk and then back to Bainbridge viewing Semer water from many angles. http://www.lakesemerwater.co.uk/
• Hardraw Force, England’s highest single drop waterfall, 5 miles up the road http://hardrawforce.com/
• visit Bolton Castle 9 miles down the road, it’s one of the country’s best preserved medieval castles https://www.boltoncastle.co.uk/
