Day Trip: Ashridge Chilterns Hike | Saturday 25 April 2026, 08.50–17.30
Join us on Saturday 25 April for a scenic hike through the beautiful Ashridge Estate in the Chiltern Hills. Expect stunning views from Ivinghoe Beacon and Pitstone Hill, lush woodlands, a walk past the grand Ashridge college building and great company. This hike is suitable for relatively fit individuals due to the distance and elevation.

The Plan:
• Departure: Meet at London Euston in time for the 0854 train, arriving at Tring at 0932.
• Hiking: We’ll embark on a 19 km hike (with 360m of total ascent) through forest, chalk ridges and commons. The route is mostly off-road and offers beautiful scenery throughout.
• Lunch Stop: Bring a picnic as we’ll pause for lunch by Ashridge College.
• Pub Stop: We’ll stop for a drink towards the end of the hike in the Greyhound Inn Aldbury, a lovely “picture postcard” village.
• Return: The train station is a couple of easy kilometres from the pub, where we’ll catch the train home.
What to Bring:
• Comfortable walking/hiking shoes
• Weather-appropriate clothing
• Water and snacks
• Picnic lunch
Deadline: Please let us know by EOD Friday 17th April if you’d like to join.
We will share more details closer to the day, depending on train schedules and weather forecast. We look forward to seeing you.
