Tring Park

The park was planted and landscaped in the 18th century, and the monuments date from this period. The obelisk in the park, locally known as Nell Gwyn's monument, and the summer house nearby are the focus of several paths that cross the park. They are thought to have been designed by the architect James Gibbs. The impressive avenue of lime trees was planted by the Rothschilds who bought the estate in 1872.
