St Albans Green Ring
St Albans Green Ring is a continuous walking and cycling route (approx. 9Km long) that encircles the city centre. The route primarily enhances existing cycling and walking routes and extends from Townsend in the north to Fleetville in the east, Sopwell in the south and into Verulam Estate to the west.
The objective of the Green Ring is to make cycling & walking a sensible first choice for journeys within the city, where previously a car would have been used. This will help reduce congestion, pollution and provide a valuable and easy way to get enough exercise. It is anticipated that the Green Ring will be used for both every day and leisure cycling.
At least 13 green spaces are connected by the Green Ring along with at least 9 child-related destinations, such as schools, as well as a variety of places of worship, heritage sites, retail centres and both city's railway stations.
