Located within a quiet area of the golf course, lovely bit of history and located honoured to those fallen

During WWI, Berkhamsted was used by troops to train for trench life on the continent. They would live in a nearby tented camp, stand parade on Kitchener’s Field, and trained on Berkhamsted and Northchurch Commons. These were officers from the Inns of Court Officers Training Corp., otherwise known as The Devil’s Own. These officers dug 13 miles of trenches here in training for the real thing that they would shortly face opposite enemy lines. These days there is an information board here, a memorial, and of course the trenches.

Lovely spot with skylarks flying and cowslips aplenty.

East of Aldbury, there is a very large and very green area: lots and lots of very lovely woodland (including many bluebells in the warmer months): Aldbury Common and Berkhamsted Common. Lots and lots of public footpaths to choose from, and all well-maintained for walkers of varying degrees of stamina and experience. Enjoy!

Aldbury Nowers Nature Reserve is best visited during spring and summer, when its wildflowers are at their most colourful, and you can expect to see butterflies fluttering between them. This lovely region of chalk grassland is located towards the northeastern end of the Ridgeway long-distance trail, not far from Pitstone Hill's summit.

Enjoy a glorious run through Tring Park, a grassy parkland and Site of Special Scientific Interest situated on the Chiltern ridge within the Chiltern Hills AONB.

Chipperfield Common is a 117-acre (47 ha) area of former heathland that has developed into beautiful woodland since grazing stopped here in the 1930s. There are a quintet of ponds on the common, as well as eight ancient sweet chestnut trees. Evidence of a Neolithic history can be seen in the form of two Bronze Age burial mounds.

Very scenic views overlooking the local countryside.
