    Redbourn, Rothamsted, Harpenden and Redbournbury Mill Start: Redbourn Common Author: Chris & Lynda Abbott Nearest Post Code: AL3 7NG OS Map Ref: TL 102119 Distance: 8 miles (13 km) Ascent 350 feet (108m) Parking: Redbourn Common next to the cricket pavilion. Facing the cricket pavilion, turn right and follow the path, lined with trees, to the end of the common, ignoring the left-hand fork. Cross the road and follow the alleyway to the right of Cumberland House (large red brick building). It leads to the High Street. Turn right and first left down Waterend Lane. Follow this windy lane to the Nicky Line footpath, which runs beside the bypass. Turn left along the footpath and continue to the roundabout, where cross two roads to the continuation of the Nicky Line. Go along the Nicky Line towards Harpenden. After half a mile, continue past Knott Wood, which is on your right. At the corner of Knott Wood (waymark but no signpost) turn right and walk eastwards along its northern edge. When you come to a gate into the wood, turn right into it. Make a circuit of the wood, leave by the same gate and turn right so you continue walking eastwards. There are lots of paths but it is a small wood. You can use a different exit on the northern edge but don’t exit the wood on its eastern edge because that path does not connect to the route. After a quarter mile broad path bends sharp left and right. Further on it makes a sharp left turn just before some buildings.
