River Chew

Highlight • River

Winding 17 miles (27 km) through rural Somerset, the River Chew is a beautiful stretch of water. It passes through the Mendip hills, flowing through Publow, Woolard and Compton Dandon before joining the River Avon at Keynsham. The river is home to diverse wildlife such as eels, otters and trout.

Woollard River Swimming Spot

Highlight • Beach

A small footbridge and weir narrows the Chew and creates a natural pool next to a field. There is a footpath going through the field, the bridleway goes up the stream parallel to the field. You'll have to carry your bike over a kissing gate. There are occasionally livestock grazing in the field. The spot is popular with local families playing cricket and having a picnic making a day of this beautiful place.

All Saints' Church, Publow

Highlight • Religious Site

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.
