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.
