Hertfordshire

The rivers Lee and Stort are London's secret garden, a quiet and rural landscape.

Watermills, maltings and country houses, the beguiling landscape of Hertfordshire is a million miles from the suburban sprawl of the capital. The Lee Valley Park is a Mecca for Londoners in search of rural respite, and the winding Stort is rich in atmosphere. The Grand Union Canal flows through the best of southern England en-route to the midlands.
