Chew Valley Lake


Beautiful lake in woodland setting
92 Bridgwater Rd
Bath, Bristol BS99 7DQ
United Kingdom

Chew Valley Lake benefits from a naturally beautiful setting. Surrounded by over one thousand acres of unspoilt countryside, it is the ideal place for a family day out. Anglers cannot fail to be impressed by the well-stocked lake which contains over 50,000 fish. Those disinclined to fish can take a trip along the nature trail. Look around for hidden wildlife; many species of wildfowl and birds are common in and around the lake and hides are provided for those who take their ornithology more seriously. Landscaped picnic areas are available as well as a tea shop which sells lunches and snacks at reasonable prices. Much of this area is accessible for buggies and wheelchairs. Directions: Approximately 10 miles west of Bath off the A368

Kennet & Avon Canal


Beautiful scenery
Runs from the Severn Estuary near Bristol to the River Thames at Reading
Bath, North East Somerset BA1 1EE

The canals of England, once the arteries that carried the life-blood of commerce, have in the past few decades become one of the greatest pleasure boating venues and conservation areas. The Kennet and Avon Canal, by virtue of the beautiful countryside it traverses, is one of the loveliest of English canals. Completed in 1810 it was built to connect Reading with Bath and then Bristol via the River Avon. Aside from its beauty, the canal boasts a spectacular flight of 29 locks which haul the water level up an astonishing 70 metres in the space of two miles, and are now equipped with a water-saving system of backpumps to recycle the water so the locks can now be open to boats every day.
