It might be easy to miss while walking on the street, but this is a beautiful and remarkable war memorial here that is worth stopping at, in memory of those who died and gave their lives in conflict. It's a beautiful structure, too, strikingly bright (many memorials I've seen are of darker stone): although commemorating the dead, this one somehow gives one hope as well.

From Gaddesden Row, after a minute's walk on a byway, you enter the pleasant Newland's Wood with lovely views of rapeseed fields and the quiet of the forest (including bluebells in the spring/summer).

A long walk around the perimeter of the quarry (a chalk pit). It sure is dramatic, and more so with the turquoise water colour, but it is also bizarre, like you are on the Moon or in a sci-fi film. An unusual experience.

This church is Grade I listed, meaning it's top-notch and first class... It was built in the 12th century (the herringbone flint work on the walls dates from that century). The stain-glass in the church is amazing. It is a wonderful place to stop at, with some potential for spotting black squirrels about. Enjoy!

This Tree Cathedral, made from trees, shrubs and plants, was created here after the First World War in the spirit of faith, hope and reconciliation. There are grass avenues for nave, chancel, transepts, chapels and cloisters, and the same species of trees made the walls.

well worth the climb!
