The Nicky Line

The Nicky Line was once the old railway that linked Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead, via Redbourn.
Since then, its been transformed into a long and very pleasant walk and cycle route between the two places.
Its always busy, you will almost certainly bump into someone if you go for a walk down there. it goes under numerous railway bridges and past lots of park-​land. Its a great place to take dogs for a walk, let them off the lead and have them follow you up the lane.
It doesn’t get particularly muddy, and the old wooden platforms you can find along there are fun for kids to climb on.
