Jun 11, 2024 · The Tring Reservoir Walk in Hertfordshire offers an ideal blend of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and serene waterscapes. Starting from the historic Grand Union Canal, this walk takes you through a landscape that has been shaped by both nature and human ingenuity.

Tring Reservoirs are a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for a number of reasons including their situation on the lower chalk at the foot of the Chilterns escarpment resulting in diverse communities of plants and animals.

Tring Reservoirs is a group of four reservoirs close to Tring on the border of Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, England. Their purpose is to feed the Grand Union Canal. [1] The four reservoirs are: Startops End, Marsworth, Tringford and Wilstone.

Discover Tring Reservoirs, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, managed by Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust. Explore the towpaths of the Wendover and Aylesbury Canal Arms of the Grand Union Canal and visit the pretty villages of Marsworth and Wilstone.

The Tring Reservoirs lie in the flat clay vale beyond the Chilterns scarp, to the north west of Tring. The four reservoirs were built to supply water to the adjacent canal system which was completed in the early 19th century.

Discover how the canal was constructed and the challenges to supply it with water. Watch boats navigate specially-designed locks and anglers hoping for a bite in one of four reservoirs.

There are four reservoirs, Wilstone, Marsworth, Startop?s End and Tringford, each with a different character. A network of footpaths and canal towpaths make it possible to take a short walk around one of the reservoirs in an hour or two or explore the reservoirs fully in a day.
