Overview

This circular walk takes us out of Redbourn using the disused railway line known as the Nickey line. The line was build initially to connect Straw Plait making of Hemel Hampstead to Hat making industry of Luton. The line was designed to give a railway station in the centre of Hemel. We stay on the Nickey line until we reach Woodhall Farm once we have crossed Woodhall farm we head to Stags End and then on to Flamsteadbury Farm with its equestrian centre and then back to Redbourn.

After the walk there will be an opportunity for some refreshments at the Hollybush.
