Overview

This section of the West Anglian Way starts at Harlow Town and for the first part of the walk follows the  River Stort Navigation, with a detour around Roydon.  Then returns to the River Stort passing Dobbs Weir and onto Broxbourne.  Bring a picnic for lunch and we plan to finish with a drink in the pub before we go our separate ways.
