ポッテンエンドのネトルデーンのおすすめランニングルート

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.

Beaut view of fields and other trails going off in different directions

Beautiful elevated views and fresh air walking amongst the fields

Nice views, worth the climb, even on a driech day!

This church, built in 1868, is unusual for its architecture: it's positively Byzantine! The designed was the well-known ecclesiastical architect Francis Cranmer Penrose. Directly outside the church is the village's green, and a rather lovely pond, with strategically placed benches, obviously specifically designed for your weary legs!

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.

The lion was carved into the hills overlooking Dunstable Downs close to Whipsnade Zoo in 1931-33. Some say it was to remind pilots not to fly too low when crossing the zoo so they didn't scare the animals. Others believe that it was an elaborate advert. In 2017/18, the lion was refurbished with a donated 800 tonnes of chalk so now it can be appreciated from quite some distance.
