River Chess
The
River Chess
lies in the
Chess Valley
in
Buckinghamshire
and
Hertfordshire
. It takes its name from the
town
of
Chesham
. The
river
rises from
springs
near the old town of Chesham, behind the
parish church
before flowing in a south easterly direction past
Waterside
and towards
Latimer
. From there it flows to the north of
Chenies
and on towards
Rickmansworth
after which it becomes a tributary of the
River Colne
. Historically the fertile land around the Chess was ideal for growing
watercress
and this industry flourished in both Chesham and Rickmansworth in the
Victorian era
. Today the Chess is equally well known for
trout
fishing
.
