Harpenden Common & Southdown Ponds
Harpenden Common stretches for nearly 2 miles south of the town centre and is a designated County Wildlife site. You can see the ducks at Southdown Ponds, climb the trees in the Cricket Club copse and spot butterflies on a picnic in the hayfield before running the children up and down the old clay mines in Brickle Dells and St. John's Wood, otherwise known as the "ups and downs"!
