An ammo box hidden on the meads by the canals and aqueduct.
These water meadows consist of a number of meads including Park Mead, Stockade Mead, Hollow Mead, Sweet Mead, Lady’s Mead, Widow’s Mead, Mill Mead, Little Mead, Tansy Mead and Broad Mead, collectively known as King’s Meads. King’s Mead itself lies centrally on the site under the A10 flyover and to the north of the New River. King’s Meads are a nature reserve managed by Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust on behalf of the owners and partners, namely East Herts District Council, Environment Agency, GlaxoSmithKline, Thames Water Utilities and private landowners.
The New River is neither new nor a river. It is an aqueduct built from 1609 – 1613 from near Ware to Islington to bring freshwater from Hertfordshire springs to the City. Today the water company still uses the New River as a source for London’s drinking water as well as providing a new 25 mile long distance footpath.
