cross over point where one of bridleways in the Roehampton Estate / Harpendenbury Farm meets the Nickey Lane- beware of dogs off leads

Sometimes you may spot some unusual animals here!

Great in the dry, if a little bumpy, Wheel sucking mud when wet, I usually nip round the road when its wet

Excellent views to be had of this valley from the hills either side! This section is best ridden or walked in the spring or autumn when the crops aren't around and when it's not too wet.

tough climb in the winter and track gets very muddy at the top as you enter the woods

This is a pleasant cycleway between Harpenden and Luton with very little traffic during the day. It's got a good surface and nice views, especially during the autumn time with the falling leaves.

Amaravati is a Theravada Buddhist monastery situated at the eastern end of the Chiltern Hills in south-east England. It is near the Hertfordshire village of Great Gaddesden. Amaravati opened formally in 1985, after the English Sangha Trust had purchased the site from Bedfordshire County Council. It had formerly been a residential school and consisted of several large huts in Canadian cedar, built by the Canadian Air Force before World War II.

Two very lovely ladies running the cafe. Shopfront and indoors were very cute. There was not much of a variety of choices to eat for me, as I prefer simple bakery (croissants, carrot cake, flapjack etc.) over pies and creamy cakes.

This was on my route unexpectedly. Left my mouth open for a bit. Very beautiful.

Note that the line runs well below street level and thus needs to be accessed by a longer flight of stairs at this entry point. With a bikepacking load, a better alternative seems to be a ramp on Ambrose Lane, which I only discovered in hindsight.

Great gravel and amazing views in all directions

Beautiful open, wide scapes, wide clear pathways with views all around.

3 statues celebrating 3 local heros: Capability Brown designed the River Lea lakes on the valley bottom and the landscape on the other side of the valley, all part of the Luton Hoo estate; Eric Morecambe who lived in Harpenden (the route connects Luton & Harpenden) and used to go bird watching in the are; the Sea Scout celebrates the long-established Sea Scout troop based on the shore of the Lea lakes

This is a Theravada Buddhist Monastery, established in 1984 (Theravada means "School of the Elders"). It is an unusual sight in the rural setting of the Chilterns. The main goal of the Monastery is training and support of a resident monastic community. This is not a place for casual visitors, so please admire respectfully from the outside.

This Tower was built in memory of Francis Egerton, who was the Third Duke of Bridgewater. Egerton was an expert in inland navigation. He was involved in the construction of the Bridgewater Canal (joining Worsley and Manchester), which is the first modern British canal. He also built the canal joining Liverpool and Manchester. Not only that, but he made 2 million pounds out of these adventures and ventures. Be sure to walk up to the top of the Tower. The views from up there are tremendous.
