Cassiobury splendour (26/05/18)
A couple of years ago we posted photos of the splendid azaleas and rhododendrons in Cassiobury Park. These all grow in a singe, large patch just north of Café Cha. They didn’t appear last year (at least we’re pretty sure they didn’t – we looked a number of times!), but here they are in 2018, a…
New to Watford meet up
Update: we’re meeting up on Sunday 3rd December, at the Cassiobury Park Cafe Cha at 11am. Hope to see you there! We’re organising another New to Watford meet-up! This time it will be a Sunday day-time get together (so people can bring kids if they want to). We’re thinking of meeting late morning at Cafe…
Cassiobury Farm Open Day (04/09/17)
Tucked away between the canal and the park, is Cassiobury Farm and we managed to make it to its last open day of 2017. Mr New To Watford had taken our son twice before and had come back raving about it so I was excited to check it out. The farm is built around a…
Cassiobury Park paddling pools (29/07/17)
Down at the Gade Avenue car park end of Cassiobury Park, you’ll find the new paddling pools. Opened in July, they sit just above the large playground and below Daisy’s in the Park cafe. Not knowing what the old ones were like, as we moved to Watford after they’d closed for refurbishment, we can safely say…
Grand Union Canal to Grove Mill walk (09/01/17)
We’d walked down the Grand Union canal towards Croxley and Rickmansworth a couple of times and fancied checking out the route north towards Kings Langley instead. On a cold and bright winter morning we set off from Cassiobury Park, passing onto the left bank at the first lock. The scenery here is more open (less tree…
Watford v Walthamstow (28/12/16)
We’ve lived in both but which is better?
Cassiobury Nature Reserve (08/08/16)
Some pics of the nature reserve between the park and canal in Cassiobury Park …
Grand Union Canal (02/07/16)
A morning walk down the Cassiobury Park section of the canal yielded some stunning photos.
Cassiobury Park in bloom (05/05/16)
Cassiobury Park doesn’t have a lot of flowers so we were very pleasantly surprised to come across a clump of colourful azaleas and rhododendrons in the north east of the park.
Watford and Croxley Green canal walk (10/04/16)
One sunny morning in April, we decided to take a walk that combined catching the tube from Watford to Croxley Green, having elevenses at CoCo Deli and then walking home via the canal and the Cassiobury park playground. Our son loves trains so getting the tube was a real treat for him. Not so for…
