Devils Lane. Footpath


Ponsbourne Tunnel
Between Cuffley and Bayford stations.  A major civil engineering work completed 1920s by London and North Eastern Railway for the Hertford Loop, work having been delayed by the First World War. At 2.684 yards it is one of the longest in South east, the longest on the Great Northern Railway and the last to be built by traditional methods, brick lined through a horseshoe shaped section. It goes through London clay with chalk underlying it. It is said they used to hide the royal train in it in the Second World War but may be the hid an anti-aircraft train instead.
