About

Chew Valley ward encompasses a rural landscape within the Bath and North East Somerset unitary authority. The area is defined by the Chew Valley Lake, a large reservoir that serves as a key water supply for Bristol. Surrounding settlements include the villages of Chew Magna and Chew Stoke, which act as local hubs. The terrain is predominantly agricultural, with fields and woodland characteristic of this part of Somerset.

The lake itself is a significant focus for birdwatching and fishing, managed by Bristol Water. A network of public footpaths allows for walking around the water's edge and across the surrounding countryside. The area maintains a quiet, village-centred character, with local amenities serving the resident population. This setting provides a contrast to the more urban environments found elsewhere in the authority.
