Hiking

This obelisk, in the spot in Tring Park where a number of roads converge, is known as Nell Gwynn's Monument. In the 17th century, King Charles II is said to have been a frequent visitor to the Mansion in Tring Park, and apparently also his lover Nell Gwynn (as in extra-marital lover). However, it is not very likely that any of this is true as by the time this structure was erected for Sir William Gore (the owner of the Mansion) both Charles and Nell had been long dead.
