ハーツミアでののおすすめライド

Can see the well preserved platforms from the former station which closed in 1962. Today provides convenient seating, parking, and bike access to the excellent Cole Green Way route.

This shouldn't be a Road Cycling Highlight

Donovan (remember Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow) used to live at Buck's Alley Cottage in the late 60s/early 70s

Buck’s Alley - a little bit of Devon in Hertfordshire, reminds me of some of the foothills around the edge of Dartmoor. Charming, but go easy on the descents, gravel and blind corners mean carrying too much speed could catch you out.

A quiet little lane. Watch out for horse riders, though

Great to see the Cathedral

Fine for cycling across too

Officially the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban this is predominantly a Norman cathedral. It is thought to have been founded in the 8th century, but the building is mostly 11th century with 19th century gothic additions. It has the longest naive of any English cathedral.
