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

You can stop for a hot drink and/or snack in an old train carriage at Bitton station! A lot of the walk is along the cycle path - so it's a shared pedestrian/cycle route. Just to be mindful whether you are walking or on a bike that there will be others either going slower / faster than you & if on a bike to make yourself known 💚👍

Beautiful little stretch of road here, especially so during Summer.

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.

From Norton it's a drop to a ramp and then a reasonably long drag along a single track road with tall hedges. From Chew Magna it's a little sharper and a fair bit shorter. Either way the view is just before or after the crest of the climb.
