Chenies and the River Chess

A lovely circular walk this morning around Chenies and along the River Chess.

The River Chess is a chalk stream which springs from Chesham, Buckinghamshire and runs through Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, in south-eastern England. The Chess, along with the Colne and Gade, gives rise to the name of the district of Three Rivers, in which it forms its confluence with the Colne at Rickmansworth. The River Chess fall is 60 metres and its length is 11 miles (18 km).

There is watercress growing all along the river and I noticed quite few folk picking it to take home!
