Chorleywood - Three Rivers District - Hertfordshire - Whitelands Avenue - Lower Road - Quickley Lane
Subscribe and leave a comment please. I cycled from Little Chalfont to Chorleywood and I really enjoyed the green and the fresh air. The day was not too hot and it even started to drizzle at a certain point, at the end of my recording in the village. I would have loved to cycle from here to Rickmansworth but it looked challenging...

Rickmansworth is a small town in south-west Hertfordshire, England, situated approximately 20 miles northwest of central London and inside the perimeter of the M25 motorway. The town is mainly to the north of the Grand Union Canal (formerly the Grand Junction Canal) and the River Colne. The nearest large town is Watford, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) to the east. Rickmansworth is the administrative seat of the Three Rivers District Council; the local authority is named from the confluence of three rivers within Rickmansworth's borders; the River Gade and the Grand Union Canal join the upper River Colne near Rickmansworth's eastern boundary and are joined by the River Chess near the town centre from where the enlarged Colne flows south to form a major tributary of the River Thames. The town is served by the Metropolitan line of the London Underground and Chiltern Railways from London Marylebone to Aylesbury.
Rickmansworth grew dramatically during the Victorian era and in the 1920s and 1930s as part of Metro-land, due to the extension of Metropolitan Railway, and became a commuter town. Diesel-express trains from Marylebone station, London – via Harrow-on-the Hill – to Aylesbury and fast, electric Metropolitan trains from the City of London – via Baker Street – to Amersham stop at Rickmansworth station on the London to Aylesbury Line. Junctions 17 and 18 of the M25 motorway are within Rickmansworth's boundaries giving access to Heathrow Airport, and the national motorway network.
Valley Road in Rickmansworth has a frost hollow. This is caused by the local geography, notably the railway embankment which prevents the natural drainage of cold air from a specific part of the valley. The greatest daily temperature range in England was recorded on 29 August 1936 in Rickmansworth when the temperature climbed from 1.1 °C at dawn to 24.9 °C within 9 hours due to this unique geographic feature.
Rickmansworth is sometimes shortened to Ricky, as used in the annual Ricky Week celebrations which occur in May. The town's canal history is remembered at the end of the week with the Rickmansworth Festival organised by Rickmansworth Waterways Trust. The annual Ricky Road Run takes place with more than 500 runners. The annual Victorian Evening, held in the town centre at the end of November, was changed to Starlight Evening in 2011. Inspired by the reference to Rickmansworth on the first page of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams: And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.
The Aquadrome covers 41 hectares (100 acres) and includes the Aquadrome Local Nature Reserve, Batchworth and Bury Lakes, open grassland, areas of woodland, car parking, a café and a children's play area. Its boundaries are the River Colne to the north, the Grand Union Canal to the east and south and Stocker's Lake nature reserve to the west. In July 2009, it received a Green Flag Award for parks and open spaces which meet high standards.

Rickmansworth Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Hertfordshire, and around 20 miles northwest of central London, is the town of Rickmansworth.
Geographically Rickmansworth is situated by the confluence of three rivers: the Colne, Gade & Chess. It is from here that the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire takes its name, of which Rickmansworth is the administrative headquarters.
In 1542 a market charter was granted to Rickmansworth by Henry VIII. Industry in the town historically revolved around its position along the aforementioned three rivers. These provided a source of watercress, as well as the power to fuel water mills for the production of corn and silk. Other industries included paper making, brewing and leather tanning.
In 1793 an Act of Parliament authorised the construction of the Grand Junction Canal. By 1796 it had reached Rickmansworth and by 1805 the canal was complete, having reached London. In 1929 the Grand Junction Canal was renamed, becoming the Grand Union Canal.
In 1862 a now-defunct railway station opened in Rickmansworth. It was a branch line to Watford which, at the time, was still a very small town. The station closed to passengers in 1952.
In 1887 Rickmansworth was connected to London by rail with the extension of the Metropolitan Railway, which later became the Metropolitan Line on the London Underground in 1933. This doubles up as London Underground station (despite neither being in London nor underground!) and a National Rail station with direct routes to London Marylebone and Aylesbury. In 1923 gravel from Rickmansworth was transported via the Metropolitan Railway to Wembley for the construction of the old Wembley Stadium.
