Bound For The Beacon: A Circular Walk In The Chilterns From Tring Station, Hertfordshire

Vespucci's stunning hiking packs are made up of an OS based map and guidebook that contains everything you need for a great day out.

Vespucci's hiking packs make great gifts for Mothers' and Fathers' Day, birthdays, wedding presents and Christmas presents. We have tried to think of everything to encourage the recipient to get outside on a beautiful walk with family, friends or colleagues. There will be a cafe near the start, pub towards the end, great views and interesting places to see along the way. Most walks can be accessed directly by train. All the walks are based on local knowledge and are aimed at those who need some inspiration to get up and out!

This circular walk is beautifully crafted. It's even more amazing for being so close to London. The walk upto the Ivinghoe Beacon provides outstanding views. There is plenty of woldlife to keep an eye out for before you reach the Beacon itself. The walks heads into the Ashridge Estate, now owned by the Nationa Trust. It feels like a lost world of woodland with world-class bluebells (in the spring) before you come across the Bridgewater Monument and a welcome coffee shop. In fact, you have cracked the back of the walk as the lovely village of Aldbury is below you. Traverse across the escarpment and you will arrive at The Greyhound, a classic village pub with accommodation as an option. Tring Station is a short walk away.
