The Limes

The market town of Tring lies at the edge of the Chiltern Hills where the ancient Icknield Way crosses the Roman Akeman Street. The Chilterns are an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and provide an excellent walking and leisure environment. Tring lies at the summit of the Grand Union Canal, and just north of the town are the three reservoirs built to provide water for the canal locks. These reservoirs are a haven for wildlife and attract many visitors.

The Manor of Tring is described in the Domesday survey of 1086. In 1682 the Mansion designed by Christopher Wren was built for the owner Colonel Guy. In the late 19th century the estate became the home of the Rothschild family, whose influence on the town was considerable, and is still apparent today.

Tring is an established market town, where the livestock market place has now made way for the Charter Market, which is held on Fridays in Tring Market Place on Brook Street Additionally there is a Farmers' Market on alternate Saturdays. Also in the town centre the well-known auctions are held by Tring Market Auctions on the same alternate Saturdays throughout the year. The narrow High Street is a hive of activity with shops and many small businesses tucked away in alleys and side streets. There is a full range of essential shops and services, including specialist unusual gift and food shops, plus a variety of restaurants.

Situated directly next to the Cricket Ground, within a private tree lined drive serving just three properties, The Limes is arguably the most sought after location in Tring. Located centrally on Station Road, the Town centre (600m) the railway station (1 mile) and all the Town's main leisure activities are within easy walking distance. For arts Lovers, Pendley Theatre, also off Station Road, is the venue for the numerous plays and concerts which are promoted throughout the year by Tring Arts Trust, there are also events at Victoria Hall in Akeman Street.

Tring Sports Centre in Mortimer Hill (400m) is managed by the Dacorum Sports Trust. It has a large indoor multi-purpose sports hall, swimming pool and outdoor all weather pitch. Other sports facilities include, the Town's football, Rugby and Squash clubs which are all located just around the corner on Cow Lane and the Cricket ground and Tennis club which are adjacent to The Limes. For those wanting a more relaxing time, a short walk to nearby Pendley Manor to enjoy the peaceful sourroundings and spa facilities is recommended.

For education needs the local schools, Grove Primary and Tring Secondary schools are considered some of the best in the District. There are also excellent private education facilities close by in Berkhamsted.
