    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.

    Beautiful lake in The Mendips AONB. There’s usually an ice cream van parked up in the lay-by during peak times.
