The Natural History Museum at Tring, the former Rothschild museum

Tring

Rothschild town on the Chiltern edge

A compact market town with the Natural History Museum at Tring, reservoir walks and a high street that still feels like a proper country town.

Barracuda, the Tufted Duck and a short list of others do most of the hosting. You will not starve. You will not need a spreadsheet. Reservoir walks create their own appetite.
