Berkhamsted

We had a day outing, out of London on the fourth day we were visiting. It was nice to get out of the city and visit a gorgeous village, not far north from London. Berkhamsted.

Lovely little pubs, a main canal, house boats. And an introduction to Aspall Cider.



I've always wanted to watch the boats go through the locks and we were lucky enough to see a couple of boats go through the process of entering the lock, the lowering of the water and exiting. Fascinating stuff, believe it or not. (And I still don't quite understand how it works!)


Lunch was at a lovely pub which was family friendly (love that) called The Old Mill and my sister introduced MrL and I to Aspall Cider. Ohh it was delicious and refreshing. (From that day on we would enter pubs which had Aspall on tap -mmm- few and far between though!)



I love little English villages - something so unique about them and I could honestly see ourselves holidaying in one in time to come.
