Stalling Busk is one of three settlements around Semer Water in the former Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire in the small dale of Raydale just off from Wensleydale, England. The village lies to the immediate south of the lake, at 1,080 feet (330 m) above sea level. The name of the settlement derives from a combination of Old French (estalon) and Old Norse (buskr), which means the stallion's bush. The village was also known as Stallen Busk, and is commonly referred to by locals as just Busk. Although the village is not mentioned in the Domesday Book, archaeological evidence points to the area being inhabited during the Iron and Bronze ages.
