Today there was a guy selling gelato from his bike shop. Cool, perfect whilst walking around

Looks cool from a distance as you walk closer to it and from across the canal

Didn't get close enough to read why a Totem pole is here

Returned to Ashridge House. Lovely setting. Wasn't overly impressed with the food if I'm being totally honest, on the evidence of this visit. Bit undercooked IMHO and quite pricey. Zillions of wasps descended when the food arrived, which made it difficult to enjoy eating. However, it's such a nice setting and relaxing place that I will visit again.

Beautiful setting and building. I'll check out the food on my next visit.

The Alford cross is really an Ashridge artefact despite the fact that it stands outside the Park boundary in Little Gaddesden parish. Erected in 1891 to commemorate the life of of an aristocratic landlady (Lady Marian Alford) who influenced the life of many workers on the Estate for some twenty years.

Beautifully painting bridge on the grand Union canal

Bourne End enjoys a lovely waterside setting, with both the Grand Union Canal and the River Bullbourne passing through the village. It is on the route of the former Roman road of Akeman Street, as well as the Hertfordshire Way long-distance trail. There are a trio of pubs and a couple of hotels in the area.
