Picnic in peaceful, picturesque surroundings
Visitors can enjoy a relaxing picnic beside the canal and watch the world go by or picnic in the Canal Centre gardens where the River Chess weir and footbridge make up a picturesque and peaceful surrounding.
The garden, which forms part of the Rickmansworth Waterways Trust environment, is free to all visitors and an ideal place to sit by the river and with the Lock Centre next door you won't have to go far to find refreshments.
