    The fifth-largest man-made lake in the UK, Chew Valley Lake is a vast reservoir providing drinking water for Bristol and the surrounding area. The lake, opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956, covers an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2).

    Thanks to the indigenous and migrant birds that flock to the lake throughout the year, the lake is a national centre for birdwatching.

      Views over the lake. Usually an ice cream van in the lay-by too.

        Easy family ride indeed and you can even grab a fish and chips at Salt and Malt or have a picnic after your ride.
