A small footbridge and weir narrows the Chew and creates a natural pool next to a field. There is a footpath going through the field, the bridleway goes up the stream parallel to the field. You'll have to carry your bike over a kissing gate. There are occasionally livestock grazing in the field. The spot is popular with local families playing cricket and having a picnic making a day of this beautiful place.
