The South East England / Hertfordshire region
The Chiltern Hills are situated close to the heart of England. It is an area of natural beauty with a wealth of places to visit. The property is very well located for most activities and is up to an hour away from most areas of interest - whether it is Warwick Castle, The Tower of London, National Trust properties, Zoos or Theme Parks. Weather tends to be mild, there are plenty of activities outside if the weather is good, and plenty of inside activities if wet.
Tring / Aldbury area
Aldbury is a village of the Old English type. In the centre is a green and pond; close by stand stocks and whipping-post, in excellent preservation, a primary school and the Church of Saint John the Baptist is of Early English style. The largest house is Stocks House which was the country home of Victor Lownes and the rural base of Playboy UK.
Enjoy seeing Walter Swinburn`s string of racehorses taking their morning exercise through the village each day (stables situated next to the church in Aldbury)
Nearby Wigginton is home to the internationally famous Champneys Health Resort. However, as with most English institutions, Champneys is not with out a distinguished history. It was the first health farm to be established in the UK and is located in an elegant and extensive mansion, surrounded by acres of picturesque parkland, and built by the influential Rothschild family who settled in the area during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The exclusive indulgence and relaxation offered by Champneys is a wonderful facility for any visitor residing in the village to have on their doorstep.
London is only 50 minute train ride away, with a wealth of attractions for the visitor. More locally both Ascott House and Waddesdon Manor are 10 minutes and 30 minutes away respectively. Both are owned by the Rothschild family and are stunning properties - Waddesdon has the appearance of a French chateau and is filled with beautiful furniture. Ascott House was described as a 'A palace like cottage, the most luxurious and lovely thing I ever saw'. This was how Gladstone's daughter, Mary, described Ascott after a visit in the 1880s. If you prefer more Medieval History, Warwick Castle or Hampton Court are both accessible (but in opposite directions!) and both offer medieval entertainment at certain times of the year.
