Tring

Tring sits in the gentle hills of the Chilterns and forms an administrative unit within Dacorum district, roughly 25 miles northwest of London. The small town spreads along a main street with shops, residential areas, and some red-brick historical buildings.

The settlement began in medieval times as a market town and received the right to hold trade, which drew merchants and craftspeople. In the 19th century the railway brought new connections and growth.

The natural history museum displays animal specimens from around the world and draws school groups as well as families interested in zoology. The surrounding area offers several walking trails through the hills that locals use regularly.

The railway station connects the town with London and other cities to the north, making arrival straightforward. The main street and surrounding paths are easily walkable and suitable for a day visit.

The Rothschild family once owned much of the surrounding land and funded many public buildings in the area. The museum was also donated by this family and transferred to the state.
