FREE Beginner HIKE Lord Rothschild's Tring Park, Grand Union Canal
London Euston Railway Station, Euston Road London Greater London NW1 2RT, London, GB101 attendees from 3 groupsThis walk takes us into the heart of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, beginning at Tring Station. We’ll start gently along the Grand Union Canal, passing through Dixon’s Gap and the old Wilstone Step Locks, before looping around Marston Vale Nature Reserve – a peaceful spot loved by birdwatchers.
From there we’ll follow the brook into Tring and pick up the ancient Icknield Way, often called Britain’s oldest road. The trail soon opens up into Tring Park, once landscaped by Lord Rothschild. It’s a quirky place with sweeping lawns, hidden follies and woodland paths. Back in the 1880s, Rothschild even filled the park with exotic animals – imagine giraffes and kangaroos roaming the English countryside!
We finish by joining the Ridgeway National Trail, winding back towards Tring for our train home. This is a sociable countryside walk with a mix of canals, nature, and history – just the right balance for a relaxed day out.
