Waterend Looking North from TL204136 to the ford at Waterend on the River Lea, West of Welwyn Garden City. It's dry, but the water only has to rise a foot or so to flood the road - hence the little footbridge so people can cross without getting their feet wet.

Brocket Hall gates Looking south from TL218139 to the gates of Brocket Hall - home of convicted fraudster and annoying D-list reality TV celeb Lord Brocket. Most of the rest of the grid square South of here is private, and judging by the spikes, CCTV and "STOP" notices I don't think he'll let you in.

Wellhead This is the head mechanism for a well. Largely complete but the cover is missing. Locally made and originally driven by a separate (steam traction?) engine, possibly as a water source for a steam plough? Located near the top of a hill just south of Threegroves Wood. There is a concrete structure about two metres high, possibly for a water tank. TL203148
