Rickmansworth West

Rickmansworth West sits in the western part of Rickmansworth within the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire. The area is defined by waterways: the Rivers Colne, Chess and Gade meet nearby and the Grand Union Canal passes through, with towpaths linking green corridors to the town. Much of the open land is taken by the Aquadrome, former gravel workings now filled to form several lakes used for boating and angling and frequented by waterfowl. Paths and cycle routes weave through low-lying meadow and wetland, and the river channels still shape street lines and property boundaries.

Housing in Rickmansworth West includes terraces, semidetached houses and later suburban estates, with primary schools, shops and community facilities serving local neighbourhoods. Rickmansworth station on the Metropolitan line provides commuter links to central London and bus routes connect to the rest of Three Rivers. The canal towpath, lakes and rivers draw regular walkers, anglers and small-boat users, giving the area a practical, water-linked character that shapes everyday life.
