Watford: Ebury Way
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 21 Mar 2008
Ebury Way viewed looking west towards the A4145 Tolpits Lane bridge and then to Rickmansworth. Ebury Way follows the trackbed of the long dismantled railway line from Watford to Rickmansworth. Opened in 1862, it was shortly afterwards taken over by the London & North Western Railway, but was an early victim of the post-war Nationalization of the railways, closing to passenger traffic in 1952. It is now a popular route for cyclists. The blue sign has a wildly overoptimistic distance of ¼ mile to Cassiobury Park and Watford Met Line Station. The very nearest point in the park is at least 1 mile away and the station at least a ¼ mile beyond that!
