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

Beautiful forrest vibe lane. Makes you feel close to nature. Watch out for the potholes, especially if you don't have a photochromic lenses as it gets darks with tall trees around.

A tree lined bridleway which is a handy link to the Nicky Line. Hard packed ground

Beer garden with a nice scenic view and room for your bike. Great for relaxing with a shandy half way through your ride!

The foundation for the original building was laid in 1280, where it was a Gatehouse for the northern approach to Ashridge and was used by Henry VIII as part of the hunting grounds. But following heavy damage by Cromwells armies, the lodge was rebuilt by the eminent architect Sir Jeffrey Wyattville in 1823. Little Gaddesden Lodge now functions extremely well as a private home.

The Alford cross is really an Ashridge artefact despite the fact that it stands outside the Park boundary in Little Gaddesden parish. Erected in 1891 to commemorate the life of of an aristocratic landlady (Lady Marian Alford) who influenced the life of many workers on the Estate for some twenty years.
