After a significant bend in the canal, and the path accordingly, to the left and a dividing of the waterways, the route continues to the right due south to reveal this lock. The lock apparently takes its name from nearby Tednambury Farm.

Woodside Green is a lovely place, at the southern end of Hatfield Forest near Little Hallingbury. There is a large green area here where cows roam freely.
