Welcome to the Experienced Traveller

In the seventeenth century Watford had become sufficiently important to have a service of carriers to London but in those days the River Colne had to be forded on entering the town. Sometimes the water was as high as the saddles of the riders. Since then the waters of the Colne have fed breweries and paper mills. Today they flow gently through the town to be enjoyed by visitors to Hertfordshire in England.

It is now week 48 of the coronavirus pandemic and England is still in lockdown. But the vaccine roll-out is gathering momentum and new cases and deaths from COVID-19 are coming down. The weather may be gloomy but the news is cheering as the government begins planning measures to ease lockdown. But we are advising any easing of rules is dependent on continued progress in reducing the spread of the virus.
