Chard is a charming town located in Somerset, near the county borders of Devon and Dorset. Chard is a very notable town as it is the birthplace of powered flight. In 1848, in the town of Chard, Victorian aeronautical pioneer John Stringfellow first demonstrated that engine-powered flight was possible - and the rest is history!

The Cotley Inn is a well-known traditional country pub located in Wambrook near Chard. The pub serves up a delicious menu of quintessential British meals in a cosy and welcoming setting.

Chard Reservoir is no longer used as a commercial reservoir but is managed as a nature reserve. A lovely, peaceful spot to stop and watch the water birds.

Built in 1842 to provide water for the local canal this is now a nature reserve and fishing lake managed by South Somerset District Council.

Nice place to make a little stop

Rest the bike up and take in the views across the reservoir, great for all the family with a walk path into the local nature reserve. No cafe or shop, so make sure you take your own food/drinks/fuel!
