Holywell Hill

This is a very steep and traffic-lined hill. Legend has it that St. Alban's severed head rolled down the hill from the execution site and into a well at the bottom. If you are at the bottom of the hill it is a much easier and more aesthetic climb to walk up the hill in Verulamium Park.

Drive through McDonald's

Drive right through

If you are in the retail park near the Abbey Station (Sainsbury’s, Comet etc.) and fancy something to eat I recommend you AVOID the McDonalds restaurant. It is one of the most unwelcoming and inefficient branches of the global chain that I have come across. After waiting around 10 minutes to be served, whilst a number of uninterested staff milled aimlessly around, I got the impression that however hungry I was this was probably not the most hygienic place to assuage my hunger, and I left.

It's also a drive through restaurant and that's what I suggest you do - without stopping. There is a café area in Sainsbury’s where you can get something to eat and you don’t need to be shopping in the supermarket to use it.
