ウェストンインゴルダーノの湖・トップ5

Lovelt dappled woodland through the Abbots pool bridleway. A great link up from the orchard trail and weir lane bridleway from Sandy lane

Lovely stretch of bridle way through a small woods and past Abbots Pond. Rough rocky section at the northern end as the path merges onto Sandy Lane (alternative flat footpath through gate to the left). Can get muddy too!

I found the route along the water to be the most beautiful. The lap went well. For the most part the path is on roads/footpaths and there are a few meters up and down, but everything is doable. There is also a route that leads along the water to the right of the pier, but I haven't tried it.

The beach is an estuary beach and so you don’t really get sand, much more mud and rocky beach backed by some grass and salt marsh, adjacent to the beach is a 100-year-old artificial lake and a small park. On a clear day, you get some good views over to the south Wales coast. There's a car park and restrooms available for use. Plenty of benches to seat on

There's some really big fish in these!

Stop for a rest at this peaceful pond at the bottom of the lane, but watch out for the electric fence!

Clevedon Marine Lake is an unusual swimming pool on the Somerset coast. Every spring tide, the pool fills with seawater from the Bristol Channel. You swim alongside open views across the channel – a unique experience! The lake is open 24/7 and is managed by a community group. They rely on donations so don't forget to put a few coins in the white boxes by the lake or donate online. The lake is open to swimmers, SUPs and canoers. You can bring along your inflatables too.

Abbotts Pool is a lovely little lake surrounded by woodland. You reach the lake via a network of lanes and bridleways. It lies on the NCN Route 334. The pools were closed in 2020 due to littering and anti-social behaviour. Makes sure you leave no trace so that humans can enjoy the beautiful spot alongside its wildlife.
