Nell Gwynn's Monument

Highlight • Historical Site

This obelisk, in the spot in Tring Park where a number of roads converge, is known as Nell Gwynn's Monument. In the 17th century, King Charles II is said to have been a frequent visitor to the Mansion in Tring Park, and apparently also his lover Nell Gwynn (as in extra-marital lover). However, it is not very likely that any of this is true as by the time this structure was erected for Sir William Gore (the owner of the Mansion) both Charles and Nell had been long dead.

Pavis Wood

Highlight • Viewpoint

Well, blink, and you'll miss it, but the field enclosed by Gadmore Lane to the south and the continuation of Shire Lane to the west apparently contains Pavis Wood hill, which, at 250m, is apparently the County Top for Hertfordshire. I say the 'highest hill', but in fact the terrain is essentially a ridge which is actually remarkably flat, so it is hard to see any defined 'higher point'. But it is an achievement nonetheles ! The junction of Shire and Gadmore Lanes also includes a junction with a beautiful stretch of Ridgeway/Icknield Way, which can be used for a convenient and relatively flat return to Wendover.

Bluebell Woods in Chilterns National Landscape

A stunning woodland with wildflowers and bluebells when in season. Very mystical when there's low-lying fog.

Wendover Woods Café

Highlight • Cafe

This is a lovely, family run cafe that serves gorgeous hot beverages and delicious food. It enjoys marvellous views across the Chiltern countryside. There are plenty of activities to enjoy nearby, from hiking and cycling to a Go Ape course up in the trees.

Aston Hill Monument to the Origin of Aston Martin

Highlight • Monument

Aston Hill, on which you are here, was part of Lord Rothschild's Estate, and was a motoring venue between 1904 and 1925. Lionel Martin made the first ascent of this hill in a Singer car on the 4th April 1914. Shortly afterwards, in May the same year, at the Herts County Automobile and Aero Club Meeting he was so successful that the first light sporting car registered in his name in March 1915 was called "Aston-Martin". This plaque here was put by the Aston Martin Owners Club and Aston Martin Lagonda Limited.

Aston Hill is also a viewpoint, but the panoramic view is obscured somewhat by the tall trees.
