Black Down is the highest hill in the Mendips with Beacon Batch the highest spot point at 1,066 feet (325 m).

325m high trig point with lots of views in all directions. It can get busy with walkers as there are lots of different routes to the top so be careful on the way back down.

Chew Valley Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

The fifth-largest man-made lake in the UK, Chew Valley Lake is a vast reservoir providing drinking water for Bristol and the surrounding area. The lake, opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956, covers an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2).

Thanks to the indigenous and migrant birds that flock to the lake throughout the year, the lake is a national centre for birdwatching.
