About
Tring Park is an important ecological area and one of the Woodland Trust’s most exciting and diverse sites, spanning over 250 acres. Just a short walk from the centre of Tring, you can discover wonderful wildflowers, historic features (The Obelisk and The Summer House), and open vistas with stunning views.
Take a walk with your dog among open parkland, mixed woodland and rare chalk grassland across the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Tring Park was once part of a larger estate, which included Tring Park Mansion, originally designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1685. The mansion is now a performing arts school and can be seen from the park over the A41.
Dog Access and Rules
Cows and sheep graze year-round, so you must keep your dog under close control and on a lead to avoid disturbing the livestock.
There is Battcock’s Wood, where livestock can’t access, and so it is safe for off-lead walks.

Things To See & Do
Tring Park is great for dog walking, with a mix of open grassland, rolling hills, and woodland paths.

You can just wander as you wish or take one of the five waymarked trails:
- Parkland Walk: 1.5 miles (2.4 km) – allow 30 – 45 minutes
- Woodland Walk: 2.5 miles (4.1km) – allow 1.5 – 2 hours
- Ridgeway National Trail: 1 mile (1.65km) – allow 30 minutes
- Walter’s Wander: 1.8 miles (3km) – allow 1 – 1.5 hours
- Battcock Wood: 1 mile (1.6km) – allow 40 minutes
Access and Facilities
There is a small parking area located off Hastoe Lane, or you can walk from Tring itself.
The actual park itself only has car parking and a dog bin. For facilities, you have plenty of dog-friendly cafes and pubs in Tring and for toilets, either in Tring or by the Natural History Museum.
