Welcome to Gade

Gade Hertfordshire is a small river that flows through the county of Hertfordshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Colne and is approximately 12 miles long. The river rises in the Chiltern Hills and flows through the towns of Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley, and Watford before joining the River Colne near Rickmansworth.

The Gade River is an important habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, water voles, and kingfishers. The river also supports a number of fish species, including brown trout, chub, and roach. The river is surrounded by a mix of woodland, farmland, and urban areas, providing a diverse range of habitats for wildlife.

The Gade River has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Bronze Age. The river was used for transportation of goods and materials, and many mills were built along its banks to harness its power. Today, the river is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and anglers, and is an important part of the local community.
