Lying just a few miles to the north west of St. Albans is the village of Redbourn built on the old Roman road of Watling Street. It used to have a railway station but the line was closed and the track is now a foot path.

This is a photo of the town centre looking north. The road used to be a lot busier but the village now has a bypass and the road through the town is a lot quieter since. In the village is a house called The Red House where Queen Elizabeth I, then Princess Elizabeth slept when she was taken ill whilst on a journey from Hatfield House.
