Welcome to New River

New River is a man-made waterway that runs through Hertfordshire, England. It was constructed in the early 17th century to bring fresh water from the River Lea to London. The river is approximately 28 miles long and runs from Hertfordshire to Islington in London. The New River was a significant engineering feat of its time, and it played a crucial role in providing clean water to Londoners for over 300 years.

The New River is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts. The river runs through several parks and nature reserves, including the Lee Valley Regional Park and the New River Path. The path is a 28-mile long trail that follows the river from Hertfordshire to Islington. It is a great way to explore the countryside and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The river is also home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and kingfishers.

The New River has a rich history, and there are several historic sites along its route. The river passes through the town of Hertford, which has a castle and several historic buildings. The river also runs through the village of Amwell, where there is a restored watermill and a nature reserve. The New River was an essential part of London's water supply for centuries, and it played a crucial role in the city's growth and development. Today, it is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit and enjoy the natural beauty of Hertfordshire.
