Chew Stoke is a small village tucked into the rolling farmland of the Chew Valley within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset, a short drive south of Bristol. It sits close to the crescent-shaped reservoir Chew Valley Lake and the valley’s streams, which give the area notable birdlife and attractive riverside walking country.
The village has a long history reflected in its medieval church of St Andrew and clusters of traditional stone cottages; historically agriculture and dairy have shaped the local economy, now joined by small businesses and commuters working in nearby Bath and Bristol. A lively community feel, village events, local pubs and easy access to lakeside and countryside make Chew Stoke a popular rural base close to the city.
