Aldbury Village Green and Pond

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.
