Dating in Hertford and Ware
In shortHertford is the county town, with old streets, riverside pubs and a castle in its gardens. Ware is just down the River Lea, with its old waterside gazebos. Walking from one to the other is a gentle, chatty date.
A first date idea
The Lea towpath from Hertford to Ware
The walk is about 2 miles on an easy towpath, passing Hertford Lock with views over the meadows towards Ware. Ware is known for its waterside gazebos, and The Old Barge sits on the towpath at the Hertford end. Hertford East has trains from London Liverpool Street through the Lea Valley.
