	River Chew - Chew Valley Lake

		The lake is also a popular water sports venue, hosting windsurfing and sailing in addition to housing a nature reserve, several public picnic areas, woodland walks and a restaurant at Woodford Lodge.

		The lake, therefore, is subject to some disturbance from these activities but the southern end (Herriott's) has been designated as a nature reserve and it is here that the Chew Valley Ringing Station (CVRS) operates.
		This is the winter headquarters of the lake's Canada goose flock, and should always be checked, as some sort of wacky goose turns up most years, although recent winters have also produced the more sensible bean, pink-footed, white-fronted and brent.
		This raised embankment allows you to view the little-watched part of the lake between the sailing area and Denny; if water levels drop in the autumn, the undisturbed west side of the island attracts a lot of birds, although viewing is necessarily distant.
