Tring’s roots are tied to prominent historical figures like George Washington and the Rothschild family, and history buffs can dive deep into Tring’s little-known links on a trip to this hidden gem town. Explore the architecture left behind by ‘Natty’ Rothschild, and discover the 15th-century Tring Church that boasts medieval carvings and a classic Hertfordshire spike. The church, overlooking the greenery of Church Square, is the burial place of many of the British-born Washington family members, and visitors can step inside to see the Washington family tree on display.

Expanding your journey beyond the church, Tring boasts a charming array of traditional English cottages and Georgian architecture. The town is best discovered on foot and you’re guaranteed to find some historical architectural gems that will inspire you.

The Tring Memorial Gardens is a short 3-minute walk from the church and is a great spot to continue diving into the town’s history and stop off for a picnic. Pop in at Beans N’ Brunch for a coffee and a pasty, plonk yourself down in the Memorial Gardens and enjoy an afternoon of people-watching on the banks of the koi-filled pond.
