Apsley Top Lock

Highlight • Bridge

A pretty spot to admire the Grand Union Canal. The bride at the lock is narrow though safe to ride over, but the tow paths either side are narrow and uneven, so ride slowly or walk.

Hemel Hempstead Lock

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge over canal is narrow and very steep, and one side its uneven. Would suggest to dismount and walk your bike across

Lady Capel's Bridge

Highlight • River

At the point the Grand union is a good ride; wide enough and smooth enough for quick progress. Further north however...:-S
