Overview

We head out from the Bridgewater Monument passing by Dunscombe Farm and Clipper down before joining the Ridgeway. We get the views from Pitstone Hill and then the Woods of Aldbury Nowers. We turn off the Ridgeway and walk past Tring Station on our way to Wiggington for a well earned lunch. After lunch, we cross the canal at Cow Roast before heading to Aldbury. Keep your eyes open for the village stocks and also the house where Emma Peel was held captive in an episode of the Avengers. We then stroll up the hill and back to our cars at Ashridge.

We will encounter a few hills along the way.
