The Golden Valley is one of the finest areas of the Ashridge Estate and is a nod to its aristocratic past. Originally not a valley at all, this feature was built by celebrated landscape architect 'Capability' Brown between 1759-1768 to highlight the impressive grounds of Ashridge House. Due to the sloping and gentle bends at first glance it looks like the valley goes on endlessly, when in reality it only stretches a short distance.
