Canal Fields: Berkhamsted
Canal Fields is the main park in Berkhamsted. It is an attractive green space, centrally located between the High Street and Berkhamsted railway station, with a picnic area, skate park and a well equipped play area. The park also benefits from the presence of the River Bulbourne, the Grand Union Canal and Berkhamsted Bowls Club.
Tring Memorial Garden
Only steps away from the busy high street, the garden offers an oasis of tranquillity and quiet reflection for visitors to the town and for the local community, located at the lower east end of Tring’s High street. The site now provides a green area in a built-up environment and is used for informal recreation, dog walking and as an area for remembrance.
Tring Reservoirs
Tring Reservoirs Nature Reserve comprises four individual reservoirs: Startop’s End, Marsworth and Tringford reservoirs are all close together and Wilstone reservoir is a short distance to the west. The reserve is known as one of the best bird-watching spots in the south of England. The reservoirs are home to a variety of wildlife and their reedbeds, wet woodland and open water habitats are a natural stronghold for birds. During colder months, you can find a large number of wintering wildfowl across all four reservoirs, including tufted duck, pochard, teal, gadwall, wigeon and shoveler with occasional goldeneye, goosander and smew if it is very cold.
