Tring

A collection of black and white photographs from the historic market town of Tring in Hertfordshire. Having spent many years in this lovely small and friendly town close to the Chiltern Hills, I have seen it expand and develop from a sleepy and somewhat isolated location to what is now, a busy and thriving town. There is always something going on and the people of Tring always make the effort giving it a real community feel with plenty of heart. Surrounded by stunning areas of outstanding natural beauty, Tring is a great starting point for many of the walks in the locality. I hope to add to my collection of photographs of Tring over the coming years as the Town becomes an increasingly popular and vibrant location yet still hopefully manages to maintain a market town feel.

The Ridgeway Path, Tring Park
This section of The Ridgeway runs across the top of Tring Park and is just part of a long distance National Trail running from Ivinghoe Beacon to Overton Hill, a distance of 87 miles.

The Obelisk, Tring Park
Also known as Nell Gwynn's Monument, the Obelisk is located at a junction of pathways not far from the Summerhouse in a wooded area of Tring Park in Hertfordshire. The area has a rich history and has plenty of stunning walks and is classed as an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tring Park is managed and maintained by The Woodland Trust, a charitable organisation engaged in conservation across the UK.

The Akeman
A lovely bar and restaurant with outdoor area, welcoming friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Located in the heart of Tring on Akeman Street, a great place to meet friends or just enjoy some quiet time after a walk around the town or the beautiful Tring Park located just a 10 minute walk away. They are also dog friendly and my dog always manages to get a sausage from my delicious full English breakfast that I occasionally treat myself to.

Tring Park Bench
Every time I walk around Tring Park I always take a moment to sit on this bench and admire the peaceful view from this elevated position. I have spent many hours here sometimes sitting from sunset into the darkness just enjoying the peacefulness and calming effect this location has on my mind. The sunset from this location can at times be spectacular. At dusk you can watch the rabbits running around and feeding on the grass just yards in front of the bench sometimes unaware of anyone watching them.

Street Art
Wall painting on side of PAMS sandwich shop in Tring High Street, Hertfordshire. Never mind the artwork, they do a great breakfast sandwich and my dog refuses to continue past unless she goes in to say hello and usually gets a treat off the lovely people who run the place.
