Ashridge Estate Visitor Centre, by the Bridgewater Monument, nearest post code HP4 1LT, then turn off up the long drive to the monument. Parking is free for all however it is possible to make a donation if you would like to

We will be following the Ashridge Boundary Trail. The route is circular on a mix of paths and tracks, some of which are uneven in places and can get very muddy if it has been wet. When doing the recce there were a couple of paths where it is likely there may be overgrown vegetation due to the time of year. There are some steep hills on the route that can be slippery if it has been or is raining. There are sheep grazing in many sections of the route and it is possible we might encounter some cattle and deer

There is a possible cut back just after 8 miles should anyone want to shorten the route. Please bring sufficient refreshments for the whole day as we will not be passing pubs or cafes. It is anticipated there will be two, maybe three refreshment stops and a possibility of a visit to the cafe at the Bridgewater Monument at the end if we finish sufficiently early. Dogs are welcome, however the landowner requests that dogs be kept on leads
