The Chew Valley is an affluent area in North Somerset, England, named after the River Chew, which rises at Chewton Mendip, and joins the River Avon at Keynsham. Technically, the area of the valley is bounded by the water catchment area of the Chew and its tributaries; however, the name Chew Valley is often used less formally to cover other nearby areas, for example, Blagdon Lake and its environs, which by a stricter definition are part of the Yeo Valley. The valley is an area of rich arable and dairy farmland, interspersed with a number of villages.

  • The Chew Valley is an affluent area in North Somerset, England, named after the River Chew, which rises at Chewton Mendip, and joins the River Avon at Keynsham. Technically, the area of the valley is bounded by the water catchment area of the Chew and its tributaries; however, the name Chew Valley is often used less formally to cover other nearby areas, for example, Blagdon Lake and its environs, which by a stricter definition are part of the Yeo Valley. The valley is an area of rich arable and dairy farmland, interspersed with a number of villages. The landscape consists of the valley of the River Chew and is generally low-lying and undulating. It is bounded by higher ground ranging from Dundry Down to the north, the Lulsgate Plateau to the west, the Mendip Hills to the south and the Hinton Blewett, Temple Cloud, Clutton and Marksbury plateau areas to the east. The valley's boundary generally follows the top of scarp slopes except at the southwestern and southeastern boundaries where flat upper areas of the Chew Valley grade gently into the Yeo Valley and eastern Mendip Hills respectively. The River Chew was dammed in the 1950s to create Chew Valley Lake, which provides drinking water for the nearby city of Bristol and surrounding areas. The lake is a prominent landscape feature of the valley, a focus for recreation, and is internationally recognised for its nature conservation interest, because of the bird species, plants and insects. The area falls into the domains of councils including Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and Mendip. Part of the area falls within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Most of the undeveloped area is within the Bristol/Bath Green Belt. Many of the villages date back to the time of the Domesday Book and there is evidence of human occupation since the Stone Age. There are hundreds of listed buildings with the churches being Grade I listed. The main commercial centre is Chew Magna. (en)
  • El Chew Valley es un área en North Somerset , Inglaterra, que lleva el nombre del río Chew, que se eleva en Chewton Mendip y se une al río Avon en Keynsham . Técnicamente, el área del valle está delimitada por el área de captación de agua del Chew y sus afluentes; sin embargo, el nombre Chew Valley a menudo se usa de manera menos formal para cubrir otras áreas cercanas, por ejemplo, el lago Blagdon y sus alrededores, que por una definición más estricta son parte del valle de Yeo . El valle es una zona de ricas tierras de cultivo y productos lácteos , intercalados con una serie de aldeas. El paisaje consiste en el valle del río Chew y es generalmente bajo y ondulado. Está limitado por terrenos más altos que van desde Dundry Abajo hacia el norte, la meseta de Lulsgate hacia el oeste, las colinas de Mendip hacia el sur y las áreas de la meseta de Hinton Blewett , Marksbury y Newton St Loe hacia el este. El límite del valle generalmente sigue la parte superior de las laderas escarpadas, excepto en los límites suroeste y sureste, donde las áreas superiores planas del Valle Chew se degradan suavemente en el Valle Yeo y las colinas Mendip del este, respectivamente. El río Chew fue construido en la década de 1950 para crear el lago Chew Valley , que proporciona agua potable para la cercana ciudad de Bristol y las áreas circundantes. El lago es una característica prominente del paisaje del valle, un foco para la recreación, y es reconocido internacionalmente por su interés en la conservación de la naturaleza , debido a las especies de aves, plantas e insectos. El área tiene como sedes administravas Bath y North East Somerset , North Somerset y Mendip . Parte del área se encuentra dentro del área de excelente belleza natural de Mendip Hills. La mayor parte del área sin desarrollar está dentro del Bristol / Bath Green Belt . Muchas de las aldeas se remontan a la época del Libro de Domesday y hay evidencia de ocupación humana desde la Edad de Piedra . Hay cientos de edificios en la lista con las iglesias en el Grado I. El principal centro comercial es Chew Magna . (es)
