리틀 개데스든 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

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

Final part of the route is quite narrow and plants have overgrown further narrowing the path

The lock is near Bank Mill Bridge No 143 (to the northwest) and Bullbeggers Lane Winding Hole (to the southeast). There is good mooring available nearby, and it's a short walk into Berkhamsted.

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.

Ashridge Estate is a large area of ancient trees, chalk downland and meadows in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's been managed by the National Trust since 1926.

I like to make my way to the nearby Monument Cafe for some tea and cake, or a venison burger. All at reasonable prices. Beautiful scenery for miles around 🚴🏼‍♂️

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.

Well rideable on a gravel bike and includes the Icknield Way (ridgeway)
