Burnt Mill Lock

Highlight • Structure

Burnt Mill Lock sits along the scenic River Stort Navigation, situated adjacent to Harlow Town train station. This charming waterway is dotted with vibrant canal boats and inviting grassy banks ideal for resting your legs.

A picturesque pub named The Moorhen is located near the lock. There are fab waterside views from both inside the pub and from the sunny beer garden. They specialise in chargrilled cuisine, so if you're feeling peckish, I'd definitely recommend a stop.

Parndon Mill and Lock

Highlight • Viewpoint

Parndon Mill has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when it operated as a busy watermill.

The original mill was burnt down by a fire in 1897, but rebuilt in 1900 and transformed into a community arts hub. The mill has studios, galleries, and workshops for local artists and craftspeople. There's also a pretty lock and great views down the river from here, a nice place to sit and enjoy a snack.
