River Stort Navigation: approaching Harlow Lock
The main channel is to the left: the backwater to the right leads to the weir at the former Harlow Mill, but is used for mooring. On the extreme left a channel enters that bypasses the lock on the northern side.
Stort Navigation

The Stort Navigation is the canalised section of the River Stort running 22 kilometres (14 miles) from Bishop's Stortford downstream to its confluence with the River Lee Navigation at Hoddesdon.
