Tearoom at Chew Valley Lake
Chew valley lake is good for a walk that’s all nothing special about it . When the weather is warmer there’s tons of mosquitoes everywhere!
Great for birdwatching, relaxing scenery, and quiet escapes from city life. A perfect spot for nature lovers and weekend walks.
One of my favourite places to just catch a few hours peace and quiet. Quick drive from Bristol and surrounding areas. Autumn is my fav time to visit when it’s a lot quieter.
A lovely little rest point for the weary driver. Wonderful views and enough bird life to keep any ornithologists busy. Unfortunately you can't paddle, swim, canoe or do any other water sport here as its not that kind of lake. Its a reserve. There is enough parking for about 20 cars, and there is often an ice cream van here during the day. Little tip.... You can stay overnight but the place is monitored so you might get disturbed and questioned.
Beautiful place to visit and wander along the 2.7 kilometre path that meanders it's way around the north shore of the man-made lake. There's an enclosed play area to keep small children entertained and plenty of benches to just sit and watch the world go by. You'll find a pleasant cafe (if a bit on the expensive side). Plus you will find several little picnic areas and numberous rubbish bins. The public toilets are free to use, but could do with a good clean. (This may simply be down to the high footfall). The parking is free to blue badge holders. For everyone else it's a standard rate of £2.20 for all day. All precautions are taken regarding Covid-19, but unfortunately not everyone is respecting the advice notices, (such is life).(24/4/22).
