Avon Dam Level Three

Share This Post

This Level Three route takes you to the top of the Dam, following a rough track for the last half mile.

Location : Near South Brent

Starting Point : Shipley Bridge car park

OS Grid Reference : SX681629

Distance : 3.5 Miles

Route Surface : Mostly Asphalt, with nearly half a mile of rough stoney track.

Category : Level 3

This ramble follows the asphalt access track for just over a mile. As the asphalt bears round to the left, there is a stoney rough track on the right that takes up to the top of the Dam. This last section of the ramble is only suitable for All Terrain Mobility Scooters

The Granite rocks in the river are a popular play area for children

When you get to the Dam, the track comes to an abrupt end, for mobility scooters. The picture below,  gives you an idea of what the worse short sections are like.
