    I don't know if you've been to Cheddar before but it seems your best bet is to find the Axebridge entrance and turn left on the reservoir and walk past the Sailing club towards the Cheddar tower, it's been seen here mostly.

    A very neglected forum I must admit, it would be nice (personally) if we could get this one up and running a bit more regularly. I know there are lots of sites covering the local area (a few mentioned here) but it would be nice to share here too. I'm Bristol based and love water birds so Chew...
