Hertford Castle Weir, River Lea weir in Hertford, England
The Hertford Castle Weir extends 65 meters across the River Lea, featuring a vertical drop of 70 centimeters onto a secondary concrete block.
The weir marks the beginning point of the River Lee Navigation, connecting the upper River Lea to sections flowing through Hertfordshire and London.
The structure stands near the Hertford Theatre, offering local residents opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and whitewater activities throughout the year.
Located off Mill Bridge in central Hertford, the weir includes three sections and a stilling pool that manages water flow under the road.
The weir pool provides specific conditions for experienced kayakers to practice advanced techniques, with varying water levels affecting navigation patterns.
