Day trip by coach - Towns, a Village & a View in Hertfordshire! (only £27 each)
About the event
Come along on Saturday 12th September for a coach trip to Hertfordshire!
About the trip Hertfordshire sits just north of London and is one of the greeniest counties in southern England. It has some very pretty villages set in rolling countryside.
We will be in west Hertfordshire visiting:
Aldbury Aldbury is one of the most picturesque villages in Hertfordshire, with timber-framed cottages and a historic inn clustered around the village duck pond where an old set of stocks still stand. Most of the land surrounding the village is largely unaltered since the late medieval period. It has been used as a setting for popular T.V programmes including 'Midsummer Murders' and films like 'The Dirty Dozen', 'Bridget Jones' and 'The Thursday Murder Club'.
Tring Tring is also historic market town where the ancient Icknield Way crosses the Roman road of Akerman Street, The town has a strong connection with the first president of the United States; George Washington, as his great-grandfather John left Tring in 1656 to live in the New World. The Grand Union Canal also passes through the town and it has a fantastic Natural History Museum.
Wendover Wendover is an attractive market town on the edge of the Chiltern Hills. The striking Clock Tower is Wendover's most recognisable landmark, which was built in 1842 as a Market Hall and prison. A row of attractive thatched cottages on the Tring road are said to have been a marriage gift of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn.
Coombe Hill Monument Coombe Hill Monument is a 64-foot granite obelisk standing at 852 feet above sea level just outside Wendover. Built in 1904, it gives stunning panoramic views and on a clear day, you can see the Berkshire Downs, the Cotswolds and Chequers, the country home of the Prime Minister. The walk to the monument is about 10mins from the car park.
