Believed to be lines of energy, possibly associated with underground water courses, running through the Earth's crust. Known to ancient civilisations and utilised for directional purposes and locating of sacred sites. The old christian churches of England are believed to be located on such lines.
The roads built by the Romans in Britain were probably laid upon existing ancient straight trackways which ran along ley-lines.
These beliefs, however, are not shared by the Scientific community as they cannot be proven.

Supposed to be invisible energy lines that ancient man used when siting their buildings, temples etc. Lots of people appear to believe in them without their being any evidence to support them, for example, what form is this 'energy' in, how did ancient man identify it? Apart from that, the sheer number of ancient sites in certain parts of the UK makes it very easy to join up lines between them, and hey presto, there must be something significant about all these buildings lined up! Well, no, not really, it's just that there are lots of ancient sites in the UK. Fun nonsense is how most rational people see this, I'd hope!

It's something to do with ancient burial sites,church's and other spiritual sites. All ley lines run perfectly straight. I think one runs through Stonehenge.
As to weather they are good or bad, that depends on weather you beleive in the super-natural.

They are supposed to be invisible lines that join ancient points, such as burial mounds, stonehenge, and so on. Allegedly, all sacred points are on these lines (or near them). I think you are just as likely to be able to do the same things with post boxes! They are about as real as the lines that make up the constellations!
However, a lot of people do believe in them and claim they contain a lot of power.

As I understand, Ley lines have big significance where they cross. Several crossings near to me here ( Coggeshall, Kelvedon in Essex UK )
This may be useful?

Yeh man.
We have them in UK.
They have a spiritual influence and this can be used for good or bad.
For instance they run through Glastonbury Tor in Somerset England and this place has been all sorts of spiritual activities for time in memorial. i.e. as long as man has been arround.
Big centre for Hippies in the 60's.
