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.

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.

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.

Take the climb up the back of Portbury or Caswell hill and enjoy the descent down as a reward. As a climb it's got a sort of alpine feel, and while it's never really steep it does go on a bit. Due to the traffic I much prefer this as a descent, In a similar vein to Brockley Combe but that's overall a nicer climb.

Black Down Hill or Beacons Batch is the highest hill in the Mendip Hills at 325m, Somerset, in south-western England. Black Down lies just a few miles eastward of the Bristol Channel at Weston-super-Mare, and provides a view over the Chew Valley. It has a trig pointed summit and is a UK designated Marilyn with a prominence of over 150m.

Can Rachel/somebody specify the swimming place please? Thanks

Look out for the long right bend - make sure you brake beforehand!

Awesome views towards Bristol and smooth, sinuous tarmac—what’s not to love? Up or down, it’s a treat (different flavours, of course).

One of the nicest climbs around Bristol and normally not too busy!

As a cyclist and driver I cannot recommend for bikes - too much impact for motor traffic whether descending or ascending

This special site is designated as a Site of Special Scientific interest for its valuable wildlife habitats and is a nationally important site for its archaeology from the late Stone Age and Bronze Age through to the Second World War. Black Down provides the largest area of open access on the Mendip Hills at over 400 ha. Black Down, like most heathlands, is formed through a combination of factors– soil type, rainfall and human activity. The underlying Old Red Sandstone rock together with high rainfall created a waterlogged and acidic soil. The removal of tree cover by our Bronze Age ancestors 2,000 years ago helped to make sure that the soil stayed damp and acid. Only certain plants can survive in this type of ground. The key species include heather or ling, bell heather, bilberry, purple moor grass and European gorse, along with mosses and lichens. Now the bracken is managed by harvesting and grazing by cattle and wild ponies to allow the heathers and grasses to flourish again. Black Down supports a wide variety of birds, mammals, reptiles and invertebrates.

Great for refuelling! It can be quite busy though.

Beacon Batch is the highest point in the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the trig point, you get breathtaking panoramic views that stretch over the Bristol Channel into Wales, over Weston-super-Mare, the Chew Valley and across the Mendips. There are Bronze Age burial mounds at the summit, too. A very special place with lots of great walking to enjoy all around.

You can this one hard as it flattens enough in the turns to catch your breath.

Pensford Viaduct is a striking former railway bridge across the River Chew. A footpath heads right underneath the 95-foot (29-m) high bridge along the river, giving you a chance to admire the structure. Pensford Viaduct was built in 1874 and is Grade II-listed.

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!
