New River Walk from Hertford to Enfield 19th April

The New River Action Group organises a number of walks along the New River each year.  The first walk of 2015 will be a 16 mile walk from Hertford to Enfield on Sunday 19 April. It will be led by NRAG member John Polley.

Much of the walk follows the original course of the river constructed over 400 years ago. You will be able to see many of the original NR features, learn how & why the course was planned, where some of the loops used to be, why King James’s intervention was crucial to the completion of the project, how construction of the river led to complaints and caused upset to landowners, mill owners, barge owners and others affected by its construction.
