The concrete outlet tower serves as the central control point for the reservoir's water supply. Connected by a bridge to the main dam, the tower houses sluice gates and valves that regulate the flow and distribution of water to the River Chew and the local water supply.

I wouldn't go out of your way to come here... But, if you happen to be in / near here on a walk, then you may as well add it on! • Also, this pond is very deep in the woodland. There is a path all around it, and it is very pretty; it's mostly obscured from view (which is great) because this means that you can peek through the foliage and see birds who aren't aware you're there! Of course, they will be as soon as you move on! I have only been once, it was very muddy after & during rain, so I can't advise on other seasons.

Gorgeous Woodland. Really stunning villages nearby, too. The fields in the vicinity can become *very* waterlogged after a lot of rain!!

Chew Valley Lake is the 5th largest artificial lake in the UK. It was constructed in the 1950s to supply drinking water for Bristol and the nearby area. There are brilliant views of the lake and surrounding countryside as you pass along the dam.

Chew Valley Lake formed by the construction of this dam on the River Chew in the 1950's. Built to provide drinking water for Bristol.

This is a beautiful and tranquil place to enjoy the outdoors. It is a great place to relax and unwind, or to get some exercise. The lake is also a great place to learn about wildlife and nature. The Lake is a beautiful reservoir and the fifth-largest artificial lake in the UK, with an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2). The lake was created in the early 1950s and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956. It provides much of the drinking water for the city of Bristol and surrounding area, taking its supply from the Mendip Hills. Some of the lake water is used to maintain the flow.

Lovely walk. Bluebells were stunning. The last 400m presented a difficulty as it appears the road has been closed to private only use near the church. Turn right instead of left over the little bridge then take a left at the top of the hill. The pub is good too. PjS

Great for refuelling! It can be quite busy though.

Best fish and chips with amazing view! It does get very busy but Chips are always worth the wait! Nice walk around some of the lake too.

A lovely, wildlife-rich pond set within tranquil woodland. Listen to the birds sing and gentle wind in the trees.

Lords Wood is a pretty woodland close to Pensford with some tranquil ponds at its heart and plenty of trails to explore. You can observe a great deal of wildlife within the woodland, including roe deer, badger, grey squirrel, and fallow deer, and bird species including great spotted woodpecker, nuthatch, treecreeper, and goshawk.

Lovely spot to stop and take pictures, very satisfying to sit and watch the sailboats in the lake!

I can't help but stop to get a picture here every time I pass, I only wish the view lasted longer! Careful of the cars as they can sometimes come haring past!

parking very limited

Lovely views over the lake, there's a nice 14k loop around it, if its windy it's quite hard going in some places. Blue Bowl pub has a lovely fire going in the winter, it's a life saver.

Beautiful lake and the beat fish and chips are sold here at salt n malt

Nice view of the Lake, food and drinks available.

Can get a bit crowded with big groups of unsmiling cyclists from the Bristol area but a lovely place to cycle. Check out Salt n Malt for the best fish and chips ever

Sun peeping through the clouds over Chew Valley Lake

Excellent stop for coffee and cake. Very popular with cyclists and cars! Busy on Sunday ms and summer evenings. Nice view over lake and public toilets even if you don’t use cafe.
