Ashridge Estate Boundary Trail

Hertfordshire

The Ashridge Estate Boundary Trail is a 17-mile circular walk that goes round the National Trust's Ashridge Estate, on the northern edge of the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. It was created in 1995 as part of the National Trust's Centenary celebrations. It uses public rights of way and a few permissive paths to closely follow the edges of the estate. Much of the walk is through beautiful beech woods which are typical of the Chilterns, with a few sections through fields. The highlight of the walk is probably Ivinghoe Beacon, with its extensive views over the Vale of Aylesbury and towards Dunstable Downs.

The national trust describe a North loop of 9 miles and a South loop of 10.5 miles. Our GPX file represents a combined boundary walk of 17 miles.
