Hertford: The Gulphs

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 29 Oct 2010

The Gulphs is the name of an intermittently flowing stream, also known as the Ashbourne, and colloquially as The Quicks, that flows from the hilly ground south of Hertford to eventually discharge into the River Lee. It is now either culverted or otherwise hidden away out of sight for much of its length through Hertford. Here, at the end of October 2010, it was totally dry in this reach with All Saints' Church in the background.
