Redbourn Village Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Lovely village to stop for a break if needed

Tip by

8.74 km

The Mill is surrounded by fords that are quite deep at times. There are footways and steps around the water that need a bit of love - i.e. they're falling apart. A few of the roads around here are gravelly. A word of caution: The nearby Redbourn Road (A5183) is a nightmare for speeding cars and trucks so approach the mill from Beesonend Lane.
