Bird Watching at Chew Valley Lake

Highlight • Lake

Chew Valley Lake was created in the early 1950 s to provide drinking water to Bristol and the surrounding area. It also controls the flow rate of the River Chew.

The A368 crosses the southern edge of the lake. There is car parking along the causeway, and it's always a popular bird watching area.

Combe Hay Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

A very unusual aqueduct, completed in 1851. It is formed from wrought iron tubes on top of limestone piers. It is still in use, part of a network of aqueducts and tunnels feeding the Valley’s spring water to Bristol. It is thought to be the oldest surviving example of this type of engineering in existence and, in order to preserve it, was listed by English Heritage in 1989.
