The purpose of the website is to provide a written and pictorial journey along the length of the River Chew from its source at Chewton Mendip to the confluence with the River Avon at Keynsham, including the reservoirs at Litton (Coley) and Chew Valley Lake.

At the bottom of each page you'll find a list of related articles, links to maps and further reading material, each providing additional information on various aspects of the river, its valley and the towns and villages that border the Chew.

The website contains over 200 unique images of the River Chew and surrounding areas. The pictures are distributed throughout the 15 pages, and can be enlarged by clicking them.

Visitors to the site are encouraged to contribute by submitting stories, images or information about the river and the surrounding area for inclusion on the memoirs page. Send content to the author by using any of the methods outlined on the contact page. Thank you for visiting.
