Red Cedar Woods Path

Highlight • Trail

Great woodland area to include on a trip to this area. Vastly different to the exposed hills and fields surrounding it.

Aldbury Village Pond

Highlight • Settlement

This small 'chocolate box' village is not quite as understated as it seems. Due to its closeness in proximity to Elstree Studio, it has been featured in quite the array of televisions and films.

Whilst it's probably best known internationally for its appearances in The Dirty Dozen and Bridget Jone's Diary, it's also featured in British gems such as Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and The Avengers.

Aldbury Village

Highlight • Cafe

Known for its picturesque qualities, this charming village is a Hertfordshire favourite. Explore timber-framed cottages and quintessential old British pubs as you wander around the beautiful streets.

Aldbury Village Church

Highlight • Religious Site

This is a nice, sleepy village with lots of historical value. A good pub too.

Aldbury Nowers Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Aldbury Nowers Nature Reserve is best visited during spring and summer, when its wildflowers are at their most colourful, and you can expect to see butterflies fluttering between them. This lovely region of chalk grassland is located towards the northeastern end of the Ridgeway long-distance trail, not far from Pitstone Hill's summit.

Pitstone Windmill

Highlight • Monument

Approaching Pitstone post mill from the surrounding Chiltern countryside, gives you magical views which change with the seasons, making it worth a visit even when the mill is closed.

A little bit of history
Pitstone Windmill is an early post mill so, unlike similar mills in East Anglia, it was turned to face the wind on top of a huge wooden post using a tail pole instead of a fantail or shuttered sails.

The date of 1627 is the earliest of several dates found inscribed in the woodwork of Pitstone Windmill, although it is generally thought that the mill was built earlier. Remarkably the mill served its community for three centuries until a freak storm in 1902 caused extensive damage.
