Aston Hill, on which you are here, was part of Lord Rothschild's Estate, and was a motoring venue between 1904 and 1925. Lionel Martin made the first ascent of this hill in a Singer car on the 4th April 1914. Shortly afterwards, in May the same year, at the Herts County Automobile and Aero Club Meeting he was so successful that the first light sporting car registered in his name in March 1915 was called "Aston-Martin". This plaque here was put by the Aston Martin Owners Club and Aston Martin Lagonda Limited.

Aston Hill is also a viewpoint, but the panoramic view is obscured somewhat by the tall trees.
