Nestled to the north of the River Rib, Wadesmill is a pleasant Hertfordshire village. Nearby is the pretty Youngsbury Estate, which boasts countryside so lovely that even the legendary Capability Brown remarked that he needed to do nothing to improve what nature had already brought into being.

If you are walking in the region and require a refuel, the Feathers, a former 17th century coaching inn, serves good food. The Inn is also home to a 30 bedroom hotel.

Stanstead Lock

Highlight • Bridge

Stanstead Lock has earned the reputation as the most difficult in England for barges to pass through, due to the fact that it incorporates a rare example of a swing bridge. The lock is close to the village of Stanstead Abbot, making it a good place to explore and make a pit-stop.
