Walk 2399 - The Chilterns above Tring (short version)

National Trails and Long Distance Paths crisscross the Chilterns in this area. This Circular Walk makes use of short stretches of at least four such to provide a beautiful and varied walk through Chiltern woodland, on Chiltern chalk downs with wide vistas from the scarp edge of the hills, along a stretch of the historic Grand Union Canal, and through one of the prettiest villages in Hertfordshire. All the walk is in the AONB and much of it on NT land – the Ashridge estate and Pitstone Hill - and there are several opportunities for refreshment. Since it can be started from Tring station it could be enjoyed without the need for a car.
