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.

Lovely but horrible road surface

WELL! When I walked here, it was (genuinely) the muddiest hike I had ever been on! So, if you're planning to go & it's been raining a lot recently, be prepared for actual flooded fields! It is a really stunning place, so it is worth it, and usually, of course, it won't be flooded! But because it is low-laying, rainwater does accumulate in the fields around, just something to bear in mind if it is/has been very wet.

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.

Pensford Viaduct is a disused railway bridge. It was built in 1874 to carry the Bristol and North Somerset railway over the River Chew. It was closed in 1968 and is now preserved as a historic building. Great views of the viaduct can be had from Stanton Lane.

Was not ready for how rough it is down here. Good luck if there's something coming the other way

Beautiful Landscape & Walking Route Along River Chew Accesible From Pensford Bridge. Some initial parts of the path gets quite muddy after prior days of rain but can still walk through with boots. Best to walk after few days of dry weather.

A mega climb or an awesome descent! This road isn't the smoothest and quite muddy so take care, especially if descending as there are some tight corners at the bottom. Great views from the top over Bristol on the one side and Chew Valley Lake on the other!

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.

UPDATE November 2023. The Bridge at Sparke Evans has now been closed for repairs for up to 2years!

Watch out for the massive roots halfway up.

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.

You can cross at the paintwork but it's a busy road with a carparkbuslane so watch for doors as you squeeze between cars. Assuming you want to get to Whitchurch Way you're gonna have to do some pavement or cut across said busy road. Really big shame because the Greenway is nice if poorly constructed.

A pleasantly woody way to join up Keynesham and Saltford, but beware of cars on the blind corners.

The pretty village of Compton Dando is nestled in the Chew Valley. It has many listed buildings and a long history, including a mention in the 1086 Domesday Book. Part of the Wansdyke, a series of early medieval defensive linear earthworks across this part of the West Country, passes through the village.

Don't know if it's been improved but this is now a full loop with access to the Avon for those mad enough to swim this far downstream. Gravel for the most part, smooth path either end.

Chew Stoke has a number of listed buildings, so is well worth a look.

A stunning pice of architecture... Pensford is also a lovely village.

Impressive disused railway bridge
