Whatever the season we have a wide selection of useful items, as well as gifts, to suit you, your family and your friends.
Local gifts
We love to support local businesss wherever we can here at Ashrige. So we are pleased to stock a range of locally produced candles and diffusers from the Chiltern Candle Co. The smell of bluebells is currently filling our shop. We also have a number of other suppliers such as local honey from Berkhamsted Bees.
Walking
Most of our visitors enjoy a walk in the countryside so we stock a range of items to make the experience more enjoyable. There is also a wide range of books on walking so, if you are wondering where to go next, browse through them and maybe buy one to plan a new adventure. Of course there are also maps aplenty.
If you like to walk in the evenings there are torches in case the darkness takes you by surprise or lanterns so that you can enjoy sitting in the dusk waiting for bats to flit by.
Food and drink
Anyone with a sweet tooth is well catered for from chocolate and ice cream to a lovely selection of biscuits. We have local beer, wine and infused rapeseed oil as well as non-local vintage cider and liqueurs.
Child's play
Whatever your children's interests are you will find something to keep them amused. We have a wide variety of books to read or colour, and activity kits about birds, butterflies and bugs. There is also a selection of pocket money items for them to buy themselves.
Picnics
Picnics are a popular activity at Ashridge so drop by to see our range of rugs, flasks and eating utensils. We also have backpacks and umbrellas plus a variety of caps for the men.
Time to read
Apart from books on local history, every aspect of a large country estate like Ashridge is covered with volumes on birds, wildlife, trees and fungi. If none of this is to your taste visit our second-hand bookshop for a large selection of fiction and non-fiction.
