Only a mere mini-tower needed at Gringley-on-the-Hill:

A much better view grabbed on Geograph.

Ah I know that one, I had quite a frightening tank slapper there a few years ago when I was still pretending to be a racy type cyclist on a carbon road bike. I recall that there's a steep downhill if you're coming from Luton way, I was going hell for leather down the hill and then it turns right before going into King's Langley, and I had too much speed and too little ability to take the bend cleanly. I fishtailed like buggery and my heart rate is just about recovering!

There is a steep hill going into Kings Langley , the hazard there is the pinch point under the railway bridge.
