It was a nice place to have a stroll for half an hour or so. We knew it wasn't the right time to see any watercress in December if there is any. Yet, we could imagine how it must've looked like during the time when boxes and boxes of watercress were daily sent to London in the olden days. The current volunteers looking after the place have taken commendable efforts to encourage the nature to thrive in...

A hidden gem, just off the River Ver and the Alban Way. The entrance is located between houses, so can be a little tricky to find, but worth the effort. Just look for the gate.

It’s a relatively small area but a tranquil respite from the normal hustle and bustle of life. Lots of fauna and flora to observe. Respect to the volunteers who maintain this...

Hard to imagine there is such a natural space in the heart of St Albans. Absolutely worth a go. It is not always open to the public, so beware of the opening time. I think it is an excellent place for bird watchers and photographers. There are quite a lot of bird feeders that are close to walk path.
