New River PathThe New River Path is a walk linking Hertford and Islington, along the banks of or closely following the New River. As everyone who comments on it delights in saying, the New River is neither new nor a river, but is an aqueduct opened in 1613 to take clean drinking water to London. Although most of its banks are not public rights of way, much of it is open to the public courtesy of the owner, Thames Water, who have invested over £2m to open it up. The project to create the Path was awarded a national Green Apple gold award at the House of Commons in November 2004. My walks along the New River Path
