Blagdon Lake

Plenty of parking on the road to the west. It helps to have a map showing the PROW's, but it's way-marked. Annoyingly you're not allowed to walk on the access road around the lake as it's owned by Bristol Water. Still, the footpaths and quiet roads in Nempnett Thrubwell allow a circular route of 10k.

Makes a refreshing change to Chew Valley Lake and it's underwhelming walk.

Beautiful place to relax, park on the bridge, not sure if there is a proper car park it vast and a very long walk all the way around. Dog friendly on lead

Fantastic place for a walk, lots of birds, impressive dam facility. The lake itself is accessible from the north-west side (up the bridge). When I was there, I saw good size fish jumping! Dogs are allowed. I do recommend walking to Blagdon town too - it is very cute, with beautiful church and lots of character.

Great place to go to. Beautifully tranquil simply alive with wildlife both on the water and in the surrounding woods. Views are breathtaking. Plenty of benches to sit on and soak up the views and contemplate.

Very nice lake to walk around with chairs along the way no car park but can park on the road at one end of the bridge..

Am amazing place to walk, although you can't walk round the whole lake. But some great views. Yeo Valley farms are very welcoming to walkers, with hats etc.
