The Ebury Way

The Ebury Way is a 3.5 mile traffic free path for walkers and cyclists along the route of a former railway line linking Watford and Rickmansworth.

By bike it is a 30 minute easy ride, for the more adventurous it forms part of route 61 of the National Cycle Network which runs west to Uxbridge and Windsor and beyond, and from Watford Route 6 goes from London to the Lake District!

The surface has been designed to be easy going for all users including wheelchairs, with many accessible entry points along the way.

Acting as a ‘green corridor’ for wildlife and well away from the bustle of nearby towns and traffic the route passes though a variety of habitats, including open moor, scrubby wood, wetlands and water.

Crossing the 3 rivers – Colne, Chess, and Gade and the Grand Union Canal, there is plenty to see along the way.
