A new cycle path linking North Mymms to the Great North Cycleway (GNC) has been completed. The finishing touches are being added with sings being erected along the route.
The cycle path, which runs alongside Swanland Road between Water End and Potters Bar, leaves the road in places and is cut through trees and hedgerow keeping cyclists away from passing vehicles. It then travels on through Welham Green before heading north.
It is part of a joint venture between Hertfordshire County Council, the Groundwork Trust and KONVER, a European funding initiative.

The Great North Cycleway (GNC) provides a north - south leisure cycling link across Hertfordshire.
The route starts at the Greater London boundary at Hadley Wood where it feeds into the London Cycle Network. It then runs north linking Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage.

The GNC will add to the existing National Cycle Network in Hertfordshire and will be part of NCN Route number 12. It links with other cycle routes in the County including the Alban Way, which runs from Hatfield to St Albans along the route of a disused railway.
Cycling Discovery Maps are being produced by the East of England Tourist Board which will detail the route and places of interest along it.
