Overview

This 5-mile circular walk from Aldbury offers a fine mix of woodland, open views, and local landmarks. Climbing steadily through the woods of Ashridge Estate, the route leads to the Bridgewater Monument, a striking historic column set in a clearing with panoramic views. After a rest or café stop, the walk returns via shaded paths and bridleways, passing through peaceful stretches of ancient beech woodland. A rewarding short walk with plenty of variety and classic Chiltern charm.
