Dobbs Weir, Hydraulic weir in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire and Roydon, Essex, England
The Dobbs Weir spans across the River Lea Navigation, creating a water control structure with a visible hydraulic jump at the slope's exit point.
The weir has maintained water levels along the River Lea Navigation since its construction, supporting local navigation and water management systems throughout generations.
The Fish and Eels pub near the weir serves as a gathering point for local residents and visitors who come to observe the water feature.
Anglers can purchase day tickets on site or obtain season permits through membership in the Ware Angling Club or Hertford Angling Club.
In 2003, the weir's waters yielded a record-breaking 8.8-pound Chub, marking it as a noteworthy location in British fishing history.
