I popped up to Ashridge on Sunday morning with a friend to take a meander around the area near to the Ashridge Management Centre. In all my years of living in towns around the forest I can't believe I have never actually been in the valley to the east of the college. It was absolutely stunning.

These cows were getting quite a trot on. Maybe it was their Sunday morning jog?
These pair of heads guard a main entrance door to the Management College. I know nothing about the stonework, but it's definitely crumbling on the north facing side. There was a wedding group assembling outside so we left them to it.
I love the appearance of knarly and decaying wood.
The end?
