This Tower was built in memory of Francis Egerton, who was the Third Duke of Bridgewater. Egerton was an expert in inland navigation. He was involved in the construction of the Bridgewater Canal (joining Worsley and Manchester), which is the first modern British canal. He also built the canal joining Liverpool and Manchester. Not only that, but he made 2 million pounds out of these adventures and ventures. Be sure to walk up to the top of the Tower. The views from up there are tremendous.

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.

Great views over the Vale of Aylesbury. A bench is built into the tree with some lovely carvings

The views are spectacular in all directions as you run along this elevated section of the Ridgeway National Trail. The route follows the ancient Iron Age earthworks of Grim’s Ditch. Pitstone Hill is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the biological and botanical interest of the area. The chalky slopes are home to several important species of rare plants and butterflies.

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.

Stunning vistas and view point of the rolling hills in the distance.

A wonderful peak offering sublime views across the surrounding countryside.

Well, blink, and you'll miss it, but the field enclosed by Gadmore Lane to the south and the continuation of Shire Lane to the west apparently contains Pavis Wood hill, which, at 250m, is apparently the County Top for Hertfordshire. I say the 'highest hill', but in fact the terrain is essentially a ridge which is actually remarkably flat, so it is hard to see any defined 'higher point'. But it is an achievement nonetheles ! The junction of Shire and Gadmore Lanes also includes a junction with a beautiful stretch of Ridgeway/Icknield Way, which can be used for a convenient and relatively flat return to Wendover.
