Notice to bird watchers.🐦🐦
Whilst we welcome bird watching at the lakes, we politely ask that bird watchers stay to permitted areas. Bird watching is not permitted on the grounds of the sailing club or beyond the boat shed gate at Chew Valley Lake.
Signs are in place to ensure it is clear where access is permitted. Failure to comply with this basic request may result in you being asked to leave company property. We appreciate your cooperation.
All bird watchers require permits to visit our hides and special access areas. Day and annual permits can be purchased from our Tackle shop at Woodford Lodge between the hours of 8am-4:15pm. Proof of membership to an ornithological group is required for a permit to be issued.
