  • Chew Valley Lake Recreational Trail (Northern Section)
    West of England Full Business Case Scheme: Chew Valley Lake Recreational Trail (northern section) 1 Executive Summary The Chew Valley Lake, a reservoir owned by Bristol Water (BW), has long been used for recreational fishing & sailing, under strict control. Over the last 10 years sections of the lakeside have been made accessible for walking and sections of traffic free cycling adjacent to the road. It is the ambition of Bristol Water, Bath & North East Somerset Council, Sustrans, West of England Rural Network & the local community to create a circular walking and cycling trail around the whole lake to open this natural amenity for all whilst taking account of its international, national and local landscape and wildlife designations. This trail will form part of a green active travel network in the WoE, and project within the Joint Green Infrastructure Strategy (JGIS) AONB Link Programme. This Full Business Case (FBC) seeking match funding for the northern section of the trail will enable a full circular route for walkers with significant ‘all-purpose surface’ sections suitable for wheel bound users and cyclists. A Rural Development Programme England (RDPE) grant of £506,685 for approx. 30% of the cost has been secured to be spent and claimed by July 2021. The additional funding will allow the full scheme as submitted to RDPE to be implemented enabling a high quality multifunctional accessible off -road GI route. Since the initial idea of the Chew Valley Lake Recreational Trail by Chew Valley Recreational Trail Association in 1999, there have been studies and consultations over many years leading to some sections of route being constructed, but large parts of the lake remain inaccessible to visitors.
