Rickmansworth is a town in the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire, England, 4ΒΌ miles (7km) west of Watford. The town has a population of around 15,000 people and lies on the Grand Union Canal and the River Colne, at the northern end of the Colne Valley Park. It began to grow in the 1920s and 1930s as part of the Metro-land area, due to Rickmansworth station on the Metropolitan line of the London Underground. As such, it is largely a commuter town. It is contained within the M25 with good transport links to Luton and Heathrow Airports. Colloquially Rickmansworth is often shortened to "Ricky" as used in the town's annual "Ricky Week" celebrations. The town's canal history is remembered every year at the end of Ricky Week with the Rickmansworth Festival. (via Wikipedia)
