Bourne Woods

👍👍 Love this walk, so much to do here. Just literally found this on the map because there was a hiking symbol. Ended up going on a 5 mile hike, up and down, passed what looked like a maze made out of hedges, didn’t investigate as I thought I could next time I come. Then ended up in a steam museum all...

👍👍 You can kill two birds with one stone if you're visiting Tring Natural History Museum and asked to leave early in order to let others in due to overcrowding. This ancient woodland is associated with museum founder Walter Rothchild anyway because he had once kangaroos, emus and other exotic animals r...

Bourne Wood Car Park
National forest
👍 I sat in my car for just over an hour, it was really peaceful. Just a few vehicles pulling in and out. Some local wildlife taking advantage of the picnicers. Sadly, no WC, only what nature provides. The walks are easy on the feet, unless there's been heavy equipment working. A nice place for dog wal...
