Overview

This is a circular walk starting from the Bridgewater monument, this walk takes us through the National Trust adventure trail through the Ashridge Woods all the way up to Ivinghoe Beacon, with great views over the Chiltern Hills.

We then head down from Ivinghoe Beacon towards Pitstone Hill, following the Ridgeway back towards the Bridgewater monument where this walk ends. 

There’s ample free parking on the road up to the Bridgewater monument, along with toilets and a cafe (although the queues are very long!) Please bring a pack lunch.
