The High Street, Tring, Hertfordshire

Tring Tring is a small market town in Hertfordshire. It is in the Chiltern Hills, and gives a name to the Tring Salient; the spur of Hertfordshire projecting into Buckinghamshire along the Bulbourne valley. The Natural History Museum at Tring is here, housing a vast collection assembled by Lord Rothschild and housed in his old family home. The town is at the head of the Bulbourne valley, and though the spring it north of the town the waters of the river have long since been drained to serve the Grand Union Canal, which is now Tring's main waterway. The valley brings through here the old Roman Road, Akeman Street, the modern A41 and also the main rail line from London to the Midlands. (Read more)
