River Stort takes its name from Bishop's Stortford, a town through which it flows. It was given the name in the 16th century.
Its source is in Langley Hills, near Clavering, in Essex. After flowing through Bishop's Stortford, the river continues as the Stort Navigation for another 13.25 miles through Hertfordshire past Harlow to Feildes Weir near Hoddesdon, where it joins the River Lea.
A 28 mile long circuit around Harlow, the River Stort Navigation is followed to Sawbridgeworth from where the villages of Sheering, Matching, Magdalen Laver and Epping Green are visited.
