The Location

The picturesque village of Aldbury is the epitome of an English village, which retains a village green, with pond and historic stocks and whipping post. Around it clusters the church, the village shop, one of the two local pubs and a number of period cottages. It is situated on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, at the foot of a chalk escarpment, which is capped by the beech woodland of Ashridge Forest.

To the north, south and east lies some 4,000 acres of National Trust Land, forming the Ashridge Estate, formerly a hunting estate of King Henry VIII and childhood residence of Queen Elizabeth I. The Estate was acquired by The National Trust in the 1920's and the magnificent woodlands and 18th century park, landscaped by Capability Brown and Humphrey Repton, is open to the public. The area lies within greenbelt countryside, designated as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
