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.

very nice inn on the riverside

Great stretch of road, I know I am nearly at Bristol, or just getting started. Either way I cannot help but stop and enjoy the view, just stunning.

Don't let anyone stop you from swimming!

Update April 2025 - the craters have now been filled in with hard pack gravel. Very much rideable on a road bike of any tyre size without needing to be too concerned about punctures.

In 2016, Bath Spa University purchased the former Herman Miller factory in Locksbrook, a modern riverside listed building designed by Nicholas Grimshaw and Farrell & Grimshaw and built in 1976, to become the new home of the Bath School of Art and Design. The building used a flexible movable panel design and won several awards, including the Financial Times Industrial Architecture Award for 1977 and the RIBA South West Award in 1978. Detailed redevelopment plans are being drawn for it to become the new home of the Bath School of Art and Design

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.

Monkton Combe is a beautiful and charming village just south of Bath. It has a stunning Norman Church, St Michael’s Church, the obligatory public house, and an old-fashioned ‘village lockup,’ where they used to detain the less sober of the village inhabitants. What is most interesting is that the churchyard contains the grave of Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier who fought in the First World War. It is well worth having a brief stop here.
