I can recommend the excellent restaurant, Woodford Lodge, on the western shore of the lake which is accessed from the B3114. There is also a café and car park on the northern tip of the lake.
If you are just driving by there is a spacious lay-by on the B3114, south of Chew Stoke, from which you can view the scenery and do some bird-watching. This is where the above photos were taken. There is another lay-by on the A368, north-east of West Harptree, which also overlooks the lake.
As well as enjoying the wonderful views of the North Somerset countryside and the foothills of the Mendips keep an eye open for some of the 260 species of birds recorded at Chew.
