Chetsford Water is a minor catchment in Somerset, England within Exmoor National Park.[1][2]

Chetsford Water rises near Alderman's Barrow and flows southeast approximately two kilometers to meet Embercombe Water. A group of prehistoric standing stones, possibly a cairn, sits at the confluence of Embercombe Water and Chetsford Water.[3][2][4]

Hen harriers breed in the area around Chetsford Water, making it a popular destination for birding.[5]
