A picturesque hiking trail through the Chilterns Hills - an officially designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Trip Highlights:
• Hike to the start of the famous Ridgeway Trail - Britain's oldest trail dating back at least 5000 years
• Get views of the huge 147m white lion carved into the hillside at Whipsnade
• Walk some fantastic hills in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
• Visit the Bridgewater Monument - a 33m tall tower built in 1832 in memory of the third Duke of Bridgewater
• Visit the tiny village of Aldbury - a picturesque setting often referred to as a ''chocolate-box'' village due to its traditional appearance
This hike takes in both some stunning scenery and a good bit of history. We hike through beech woodland, chalk uplands and get some great views over the vale of Aldbury before leading back through the woods of the Ashridge Estate - the former home of the Dukes of Bridgewater. We then drop into the quaint and unspoilt village of Aldbury. Part of our route takes us along the ancient path of the famous Ridgeway Trail, a 5000 year old trading route, described as Britain's oldest road and we also pass the Bridgewater Monument - created to honour the Duke who built one of Britain's first canals.
