Watford Cycle Hub: Ebury & Abbey Way to St. Albans

The route starts on the Ebury Way, a disused railway track and continues following much of the National Cycle Routes 6/61 along The Abbey Way and onto the roads through Bricket Wood and over the M25 which are quite fast moving. On reaching St Albans you can stop for refreshments at the cafe, Inn on the Park, set in the beautiful surroundings of Verulamium Park. The return ride weaves its way again on cycle paths and quiet suburban roads passing the North Watford allotments, the award winning Cheslyn Gardens and through the Cassiobury Estate before riding down Watford High Street to re join Route 6/61. This is a Steady Plus Route: There are some rolling hills but no whoppers! The pace will average about 8-10 mph over the route. This route is designed to give you a relaxed, longer ride to the Cathedral City, using the National Cycle Routes & showing you somewhere lovely to retreat to & how to get there bypassing busy roads. A great ride for all who want to increase their distance & gain some quiet road practice in good company. :)
