A nineteenth century creation, the damming of the Winford Brook enabled Bristol Water Company to ensure supplies to the village and beyond. Today, Knowle Angling Club enjoy trout fishing here.

The north end of Chillyhill Lane
Interestingly, the lane is a byway, but for a fair length of it too narrow for most cars to use. The 'No Through Road' sign gives authority.

Forestry, Ford and Footbridge
Hard to believe that this is a public road-just at the point where the Winford Brook flows out of the Chew Magna reservoir. Look carefully and you will see a tree surgeon perched in the top of the tree.

Back up the Brook
The ford at Chew Magna's Dark Lane allows the water flowing from the west end of Dundry Hill to go through the village. The water is known as the Winford Brook or Littleton Brook - both rise near the respective villages and converge a short distance upstream.

Ford at Dark Lane
The footbridge up the lane has been taken down, so traffic can take a bit of a run-up at the water hazard.
