Cumberland Garden, Redbourn

Highlight • Natural

I like to find little places for a cuppa and a rest during my rides. Today I discovered a delightful little walled garden in Redbourn. It used to be the private garden of the Duke of Cumberland. He later gifted it to the council. Across the road is a nice little cafe.

HUB Coffee and Cycle Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Fabulous cakes and snacks, good coffee, freshly-cut sandwiches use tasty bread from local Redbournbury Mill.

Snug inside with comfy chairs and bookcases with cycling books and magazines to read as you relax, also tables and chairs outside in Spring and Summer.

Located near The Nickey Line, a 7-mile (11.2 km) footpath and cycleway that follows the former Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead Railway line between Harpenden, Redbourn and Hemel Hempstead.
