쉬운 웨스트 하프트리 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Beautiful Lake. It's very large(!) And is really easily accessible, there is parking right by the edge of the lake, if you can not walk there. It's a fantastic spot for bird watching, too! There is a board that displays the birds you may be likely to see and when you'll see them. Please do not feed bread to the ducks & birds! (I know it was normal, I used to do it as a small child in the late 80s & 90s, but we know it's bad for them now)

At the SSW end of Chew Valley Lake, there are some fields which are easily walkable. This small woodland stream leads to Herriots Mill Pool, which is a small pool on very SSW tip of the Lake

Chew Valley Lake is a well-known scenic beauty spot, top quality fly-fising destination and the fifth largest artificial lake in the UK. It’s also a haven for birdwatchers, with wildfowl and migrating birds often seen feeding in the reed beds around the water.

The Ring O' Bells in Compton Martin is a 16th century traditional village pub. They serve great food, drinks and snacks and are very happy to greet muddy runners. The Ring O' Bells is on the Butcombe Trail, a 47 mile (75 km) circular pub crawl around the Mendip Hills.

The lower and upper Litton reservoirs were built in the 1850 s by the Bristol Waterworks Company. Today it's a peaceful place for a walk. Watch out for the wide variety of insects and birds who live here.

Chew Valley Lake was created in the early 1950 s to provide drinking water to Bristol and the surrounding area. It also controls the flow rate of the River Chew. The A368 crosses the southern edge of the lake. There is car parking along the causeway, and it's always a popular bird watching area.

Ubley Parish sits in the Yeo valley at the west end of the Chew Valley. It is bordered to the north and south with ridges of hills, most significantly the Mendips to the south. It sits within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and close to Blagdon Lake. Ubley is an attractive village set mostly on the valley floor but rises up on the lower slopes of the Mendip Hills to the south. The surrounding valley landscape is of farmland with small and medium sized fields largely for grazing. Fields are separated by well-kept hedgerows with intermittent mature trees. The whole area is rich in wildlife and is rural and unspoilt in character. There are magnificent views from the slopes of the Mendips across the Parish and as far as South Wales to the west and the hills above Bath to the east. The roads are lined by a mixture of hedgerows and walls, the latter of which are of local stone. The slopes of the Mendip scarp are densely wooded with an area known as Ubley Wood. The centre of the village is at The Cross, outside the 13th century St Bartholomew’s Church. This is a conservation area, with charming houses and gardens and a view up to the Mendip Hills. Ubley has many way-marked paths leading either up to the Mendip Hills or down to the edges of Blagdon and Chew Valley Lakes. From the Mendip Hills above Ubley both lakes can be seen, and on a clear day the view is spread from Cardiff to the hills above Bath.

Great spot for a rest and a cuppa!
