Knebworth Railway Station

Highlight • Parking

Only 43' from King's Cross, this is from experience the best starting point for loops in the countryside for Londoners. You can start straight from the station; no suburb, no spotty cycle lane, no by road - straight on country lanes AND you can go West OR East.

HUB Coffee and Cycle Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Fabulous cakes and snacks, good coffee, freshly-cut sandwiches use tasty bread from local Redbournbury Mill.

Snug inside with comfy chairs and bookcases with cycling books and magazines to read as you relax, also tables and chairs outside in Spring and Summer.

Located near The Nickey Line, a 7-mile (11.2 km) footpath and cycleway that follows the former Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead Railway line between Harpenden, Redbourn and Hemel Hempstead.

Ballslough Hill

Highlight • Climb

Use the first few hundred meters to get some speed and take it easy, as it gets steeper round the corner. You can make up speed after the second corner where it eases off.

Codicote to Kimpton Road Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The usual ingredients: small downhill gradient, good tarmac (British standards...) and not too much traffic. This is a well known local segment and a good stretch of road to stretch your legs.
