Mimshall Brook at Wash Lane Common Looking like a normal muddy stream here, the Mimshall Brook is actually quite an unusual river. About 4kms north of here in all but high flow conditions it will sink below the surface through swallow holes to continue its journey underground.

Wash Lane Common Nature Reserve Not many motorway service areas can offer a small nature reserve out at the back as a place to stretch your legs during a journey. At South Mimms Services on the M25 a short path takes you into this park where you can have quite a long walk if you're not in a hurry.

M25 near to Potters Bar Officially named the London Orbital and frequently derided as nothing more than a very big car park, the M25 is a 117-mile orbital motorway that encircles London; one of the world's biggest ring roads (Europe's second longest orbital road after the Berliner Ring, which is 122 miles). It is not, however, a continuous loop of motorway as the Dartford Crossing section (comprising the Dartford Tunnels and the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge) over the Thames and its approach roads are designated as the A282. Constructed between 1975 and 1986, the M25 is reputedly the most expensive motorway Britain ever built, costing a total of £909m or roughly £7.5m per mile, but at the time of its planning, the demand for the road was considerably underestimated so that when it was finally completed in 1986, it was already out of date. Demand outstripped capacity within a few years and ever since then it's been very heavily congested. The M25 is one of the UK’s busiest motorways, carrying up to 200,000 vehicles and 10,000 HGVs per day (AADT - Annual Average Daily Traffic flow) on the section near to Heathrow Airport. Since its opening in the 1980s, the southern, western and eastern sections have been widened to largely dual four lane (D4M) standard, but much of the motorway retains its dual three lane road (D3M) cross-section as originally built. The M25 was home to England's first Variable Speed Limits on motorways between the A3 and M4 in the early 1990s. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.cbrd.co.uk/motorway/m25/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.cbrd.co.uk/motorway/m25/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> cbrd <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=M25" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=M25">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> SABRE

Leighton House, Potters Bar Although the station at Potters Bar opened in 1850 the area around it did not become built up until well into the 20th century. Much of the town's development came after the Second World War and Leighton House on Darkes Lane was built opposite the station in the 1950s. Today it houses retail units and a dental practice on the ground floor with apartments above. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3213875">TL2501 : Leighton House</a> taken in 2012 from roughly the same spot which shows a branch of Barclays Bank where Specsavers is now.

Darkes Lane Bridge, Potters Bar This bridge at the south end of Potters Bar station carries the East Coast Main Line over Darkes Lane. When the railway was built a low girder design was adopted to lessen the gradient heading north through Barnet and Hadley Wood; as a consequence the roadway has had to be lowered to accommodate modern traffic. In May 2002 a serious derailment occurred on a set of points on the approach to the bridge causing a Kings Cross to Kings Lynn train to crash into the station platforms. One of the carriages struck the bridge parapet causing masonry to fall onto the road below. In addition to six passengers in the train, an elderly woman was killed while walking under the bridge. A replacement bridge had to be provided which was installed in November 2002, painted blue at the request of Hertsmere Council.
