Ashridge Estate
Ashridge Estate spreads across the Chiltern Hills on the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire border, a vast tract of ancient woodland, commons and chalk downland. Beech and oak give way to open grassland alive with wildflowers, and fallow deer roam the woods year-round. In spring the floor turns blue with bluebells; in autumn the colour is extraordinary. Miles of waymarked trails radiate from the Bridgewater Monument at its heart.
