Aldbury

A beautiful chocolate-box village with half-timbered cottages, Aldbury is a gem. In the village centre, stocks and a well-preserved whipping-post stand next to a green pond, paying homage to days gone by. The village also has an alehouse dating back to 1752 - The Valiant Trooper. There are also various manor houses in the village.

Very pretty village; a perennial destination for ramblers and a good place to have a drink. It also is a crossroad of different tours and close to Tring station for London cyclists.

Nice photo opportunities and a good choice when route planning as it helps avoid some of the nearby main roads. There is a small shop here and the Musette Cafe is on the edge of the village.

Be sure to also pop into Musette Cafe, situated just outside the village heading towards Tring. Cyclists cafe, with great coffee and cakes and fabulous views back to the Ashridge Estate in the Chlterns.

Nice place to stop for a bite or pint

The Avengers were here. So was Villanelle.

A pretty stop when you've had enough of the surrounding hills.

Pretty little village in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Steep hill to climb on one route out.
