Tring is an historic market town, nestling in the foothills of the Chilterns, close to the border with Buckinghamshire. Although Tring has been an economic centre for many centuries, the town really prospered under the watchful eye of the Rothschild family at the turn of the century. The Rothschilds’ legacy was predominantly one of the architecture they influenced in Tring. Sir Walter Rothschild also founded the Zoological Museum. Other tourist attractions in and around Tring include the Tring reservoirs, Tring Park, the church with its connections with the family of George Washington and the Chiltern Hills themselves.
Friday is market day and a further selection of food and assorted goods and produce is available. A Farmers Market is held fortnightly. However, if antiques tickle your taste buds why not visit the various antique outlets, including the auctions held fortnightly.
