Canon EOS 250D | 35mm | 1/250s | f/5.6 | ISO 100 Taken on 01/09/2020. The River Bulbourne is a chalk stream that rises in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) at Cow Roast and flows through the centre of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire. Chalk streams are a globally rare habitat. With their clear waters and stable conditions, they are able to support many plants and animals, including rare species like the water vole. Needless to say I didn't spot any on the riverside walk, but quite a few herons were out and about. The River Bulbourne used to support a vibrant watercress industry and remnant watercress beds still remain. The river runs beside the Grand Union Canal for seven miles to its confluence with the River Gade at Two Waters. It got an awful lot quieter as I was making my way to the Old Mill, a striking and converted canalside mill that fits in well with the colourful narrowboats passing by.
