Wick Road, TRING, HP23 6HQ

Road lined with Poplar trees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigginton,_Hertfordshire

Tring Park originally formed part of the estate of the banker Lionel de Rothschild and his son Nathaniel (1st Baron Rothschild of Tring) who made sweeping changes to the mansion, to the estate farms and its other buildings, and who opened the Tring Zoological Museum as a gift to his son Walter - the Museum now forms part of 'The Natural History Museum' (and is well worth a visit). Walter Rothschild was responsible for introducing numerous exotic animals - including wallabies, cassowaries, quaggas and rheas - into the Park's extensive grassland. Today the Park, which is managed by the Woodland Trust, is home to much less exotic sheep and cattle. This view is towards is towards Pitstone Hill (skyline, centre).

These poplar trees on rising ground by the side of a private road can be seen from a considerable way away.

Taken from the Icknield Way Long Distance Path (LDP) as it runs next to Grim's Ditch to the south of Tring. Wick Farm itself is on the even more famous Ridgeway LDP, showing how close these two LDPs are at this point (they actually meet a few miles away near Aldbury in a confusion of red lozenges on the OS 1:50000 maps !).

An Arts and Crafts style house on the edge of Wigginton.

Footpath off The Ridgeway on the edge of Wigginton.

This little structure is in woodland adjoining and belonging to Image] It looks like an old ruined chapel, but is I'm sure, a folly. Whether it is contemporaneous with the house (late C19th) or was one of various follies in Tring Park, which would make it older, I don't know.

Looking across a field with plenty of wild flowers past the tops of a few houses on Osborne Way. In the distance the white tower than can just be seen is the top of Image] about 3½ miles (5½km) away.
