Editing Hillegom (section)

==Transport==
Historically, much of the town's transport was done by water, either canals or streams.

The Hillegommerbeek (Hillegom's Creek) was used to transport goods from the town to Haarlemmermeer (Haarlem's Lake) and, after its [[Land reclamation|reclamation]], to the [[Ringvaart]]. Several docks and wharfs still line the creek and canal.

The ''[[Leidsevaart]]'' (Leiden Canal) was completed in 1657 and runs between Leiden and Haarlem just west of Hillegom. This canal has fallen in disuse because of its many non-operable bridges.

Hillegom is served by Provincial Roads 207, 208, and 442.

===Railway===
