We left last nights mooring and headed toward Watford, the canal passes Grove mill with its famous ornamental stone bridge ordered by the Earl of Essex before he would allow the Grand Union Canal company to cut a navigation through his park.
Cassiobury park all 190 acres of it,with its golf courses and its avenue of limes planted by Moses Cook in 1672, many of its trees are over 300 years old. We then pass the village of Croxely Green and the outskirts of Watford, we carry on for a little while before mooring just below Batchworth locks and by its canal centre, opposite this is a model canal layout, complete with radio controlled locks and boats which unfortunaley for us it was not operating today.
Just a little way on is a handy Tescos with ample canal side mooring on its frontage, we have a lazy Saturday afternoon, and struggled to get a telly signal so no telly, just reading tonight.....
