Location
Hemel Hempstead Canoe Club
Nash Mills Recreation Centre
Red Lion Lane
Hemel Hempstead
Herts
The entrance to the Recreation Centre is just by the railway bridge, directly opposite the Red Lion pub - there's a big Nash Mills Recreation Centre sign. (By the traffic lights under the railway bridge across the A4251 - the old A41).
From M25 J20 take the A4251 through Kings Langley for just over a mile. Shortly after the Eagle Pub (left hand side) there is a railway bridge crossing the road diagonally, with traffic lights underneath it. Turn right at these lights into Nash Mills / Red Lion Lane and immediate right along a track beside the railway line into Nash Mills Recreation Centre.
Alternative Directions: From M25 J20 take the A4251 through Kings Langley for just over a mile. Shortly after the Eagle Pub (left hand side) there is a railway bridge crossing the road diagonally, with traffic lights underneath it. Turn right at these lights into Nash Mills / Red Lion Lane and immediate right along a track beside the railway line into Nash Mills Recreation Centre. If you end up crossing the canal you have gone too far!
Note: there is no postal delivery to the clubhouse, so please do not try to mail us at the above address because your message won't get through! Please email the webmaster in the fist instance - or just visit on a club night, it might be winter but we still come!
