Ashridge Estate is a 2,000 hectare (5,000 acres) area of the Chiltern Hills with beech and oak woodlands, commons and chalk downlands. These very different landscapes each support a rich variety of wildlife, including carpets of bluebells in spring, rare butterflies in summer and the fallow deer that rut in autumn.
The National Trust took on the Ashridge Estate in 1926 and manages the landscape as a working estate, continuing 3,000 years of tradition.
The best way to explore the Ashridge Estate is on foot or by bike. Miles of footpaths and bridleways give you plenty of space to explore, and if you drop into the visitor centre they will be happy to share their favourite routes with you. Mobility scooters are also available, giving access to all.
