Is Good independent coffee place nearby?

I went to Rootz and it is nice place for coffee and quick bite.

Is any stunning walks nearby?

A several minutes away from the station there is a Carpenters Wood. It is an ancient Chilterns beechwood. There are cycle and horse paths. You can see Roe deer if you lucky enough. Another place is a Chorleywood Common, but there is nothing excited about it. It is one of start/finish point for the Chess valley walk between Rickmansworth and Chesham.
