A whole host of events take place at Ashridge, including guided walks and talks about the estate, wildlife workshops and hands-on family activities, like pond-dipping.
Family highlights
Find out more about Ashridge in the new Discovery Centre, which has lots of interactive games to play. You can also pick up a children's activity sheet or just run off some steam in the woodlands.
Walking
Ashridge is perfect for short, long, easy and more energetic circular walks. Self-guided trail leaflets can be purchased in the gift shop.
Horse riders with permits are welcome on 15 miles of paths on the estate. Contact our Riding warden or Visitor Centre in advance for details of how to purchase one.
Kite or model flying
Ivinghoe Beacon is a perfect spot to fly a model aeroplane. For model aeroplane flying access is available via the Ivinghoe Soaring Association. Please note that a peg system is in operation and appropriate insurance is essential.
Other recreational activities
The estate is a fantastic location for bird-watching and wildlife-spotting.
