Carthagena Weir, River weir in Broxbourne, England
The Carthagena Weir creates a water barrier across the River Lea, forming deep pools with depths exceeding 16 feet in certain sections.
The weir has played a central role in managing water flows along the River Lea, contributing to Hertfordshire's water infrastructure development over generations.
The Carthagena Fisheries complex attracts numerous anglers seeking chub populations, with notable fishermen Chris Yates and Matt Hayes visiting these waters.
Access to the weir is available through Broxbourne railway station, the B194 Nazeing New Road, or the River Lee Navigation towpath.
The water depths and oxygenation levels at Carthagena Weir support substantial populations of common barbel and other coarse fish species.
