Hemel Hempstead: The Nicky Line
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 14 Oct 2007
The trackbed of the dismantled Hemel Hempstead to Harpenden railway (The Nicky Line) viewed looking towards the centre of Hemel Hempstead. This is the approximate location of one of the intermediate stations along the route, Godwin's Halt, named after a prominent local landowner. The route is now a footpath and is also one of the few opened sections of the proposed National Cycle Network Route 57 that will eventually run from Cricklade in Wiltshire to Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire.
