IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Wick Road, TRING, HP23 6HZ

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 !).

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

This large tree is on the southern side of the footpath (formerly part of the Ridgeway see Image]) as it approaches Wick Farm about halfway between Hastoe Cross and the village of Wigginton.

The Icknield Way is not signposted at all along this stretch. This track off the footpath leads to Wicks Farm. It is not the footpath.

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.
