Nursery Wood

Lee and Stort Navigation: Lock no 5 - Sawbridgeworth Lock The route passes under a railway bridge (Kecksy's Bridge) and Sawbridgeworth is 3/4 of a mile from here as a sign indicates while Bishop's Stortford is 3 miles the other way. Despite its proximity to a town, this is another pretty lock, especially the view looking back at it from downstream.

Lee and Stort Navigation: Lock no 7 - Feakes Lock Feakes Lock is situated a kilometre to the east of Pishiobury Park.

There are nearby fields and hedgerows and this is a pleasant and peaceful place to stop on a warm summer's day. The lock is in a quieter stretch of the route between the built-up areas of Sawbridgeworth and Harlow Town.
