With Olga. This was just a stroll really to pay a visit to the highest ground in the county of Hertfordshire. We parked in Wigginton and paid a quick visit to the trig point by Langton Wood. We then switched direction and headed west to have a look at the Summer House portico and the obelisk known as Nell Gwyn’s Monument, both built in the early 18th century for the indulgence of local bigwig William Gore. From here we walked SW through Tring Park, resplendent in the sunshine with the Hawthorn in bloom and glorious views NE towards Beacon Hill, then through Bishop’s Wood to Hastoe Cross. From there it’s a road walk about a kilometre west to where the road takes a sharp left and a 244 spot height on the OS map marks the county top. We carried on a little following the Ridgeway path into the wood as far as where a 248 spot height marks the top of this rather insignificant little hill. Back then to Hastoe Cross and then straight along a track past Wick farm took us very pleasantly back to where we began, just hungry enough to fancy a little late lunch and a pint in a pub in Aldbury.
