	Local Attractions Little Hallingbury Mill has much to offer, especially for the keen photographer. The river with it's privately owned boats is a colourful sight, and the various stretches of water hold their own charm. From the Mill there are many walks, whether to investigate the village or the stretch of river with it's many locks. The river can be reached by crossing the single span foot bridge from the car park, and walking across the water meadow to the river bank. Waterproof footwear is recommended for crossing the water meadow! Once on the river bank, turn right and you can walk all the way into Bishop's Stortford - which a member of staff has timed at approximately one hour. The scenery is, of course, beautiful and restful. You will come across the charming Twyford Mill which bridges the river, and on into Bishop's Stortford Town Centre where the Stort Navigation terminates. Spring is a good time for this route, when the wooded areas are a blanket of bluebells. However if you turn left along the river you can walk as far as the small town of Sawbridgeworth and even on into Harlow. Some famous people have properties in the area, including the Beckhams! The village has many old properties dating as far back as 1480. The church, St. Mary the Virgin is circa 1900 and worthy of a visit. There are several local walks around the lanes.

Turn right into the road, which is fairly narrow and rises up into the Green (which again is clearly marked).
