Bluebell Woods at Ashridge Estate

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Ashridge Estate is a glorious place for a hike, with around 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) of oak and beech woodlands, beautiful commons and quintessential chalk downlands. It's a treat all year round but special mention has to go to spring's bluebells and the butterflies of summer. There are many miles of footpaths and bridleways to explore, while there's also a visitor centre where you can find out more about the area.

Clickmere Pond

Highlight • Forest

A really beautiful pond here within Pitstone Common, with a newly built (in 2010) platform. The pond has shrunk in size over the years, but it's still a lovely place to be, and in the autumn the colours of the leaves on the trees here are totally gorgeous, only adding to the effect of the place.

Bridgewater Monument

Highlight • Monument

This Tower was built in memory of Francis Egerton, who was the Third Duke of Bridgewater. Egerton was an expert in inland navigation. He was involved in the construction of the Bridgewater Canal (joining Worsley and Manchester), which is the first modern British canal. He also built the canal joining Liverpool and Manchester. Not only that, but he made 2 million pounds out of these adventures and ventures.

Be sure to walk up to the top of the Tower. The views from up there are tremendous.

Moneybury Hill Barrow

Highlight • Historical Site

Victorian reproduction of an 18c shooting lodge. Before the Trust took over the estate, workers were sometimes given areas to maintain as a form of pension. This particular area was maintained by Walter Dell who kept the grass and surrounding shrubs well-manicured.
