  • CPRE Hertfordshire Walk the Ver Valley and Bricket Wood
    CPRE Hertfordshire Walk The Ver Valley and Bricket Wood This walk is a linear route linking stations on the Abbey railway line between Watford and St Albans, following the River Ver Trail. The shorter route between St Albans Abbey station and either Park Street station or How Wood station is 3 miles. The entire route to Bricket Wood station from St Albans is just under 7 miles. Much of the route runs close to the River Ver, passing numerous historic features including water mills. The photo below is looking upstream just below Sopwell Bridge. Trains run regularly on the Abbey line from Watford Junction station to St Albans Abbey station, with an end-to-end journey time of 16 minutes. For timetables visit abfly.org.uk. You might want to note the times of possible return trains before setting out. Alternatively there are numerous car parks in St Albans City centre. The walk described begins close to St Albans Abbey station at the foot of Holywell Hill. It follows the River Ver Trail for much of the route before a short climb to reach Bricket Wood Common near the end of the longer route. The River Ver Trail is mostly close to the river, and in places it can get wet underfoot in winter and after rain, so appropriate footwear is advised. Much of the route is reasonably sheltered and ideal for a winter walk. In Park Street there are various options for refreshments. There are no stiles. Alongside the river and also in the area of flooded gravel workings in the vicinity of Park Street and Frogmore be aware of open and deep water if you have children or dogs.

  • Old Bricket Wood
    CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER STATEMENT FOR OLD BRICKET WOOD December 2009 CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER STATEMENT FOR OLD BRICKET WOOD 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Civic Amenities Act 1967 empowered local planning authorities to make provision for the preservation and enhancement of areas of architectural and historic interest by designating them as Conservation Areas. 1.2 The Old Bricket Wood Conservation Area was designated in 1983. Designation was based on the statutory definition which is “an area of special architectural interest, the character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance…they may be large or small, from whole town centres to squares, terraces and smaller groups of buildings. They will often be centred on listed buildings but not always. Pleasant groups of other buildings, open spaces, trees, an historic street pattern, a village green, or features of archaeological interest may also contribute to the special character of the area.” 1.3 Consultations took place with the Parish Council and several local amenity societies, in addition to all local residents. Whilst there was a request to include some of the more outlying buildings in the vicinity, it was considered that to include the large areas of open land in between was against the government guidelines for conservation area designation. 1.4 Conservation should not be thought of solely as a process of preservation and an impediment to change. The designation of a conservation area represents an opportunity to formulate positive policies to improve and enhance its environmental quality and to ensure the successful integration of any development or redevelopment necessary for its continued success as a living and working community.
