Places of interest in Tring
The principal buildings in the town are the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum, the Parish Church of St. Peter and St Paul and the Mansion, now the Arts Educational School. Also of interest are;
Rose & Crown
The original coaching inn
on the High Street was demolished in 1905 and rebuilt in old English style, set back from the road.
The new hotel was one of the first Trust Houses in the country; see the
accommodation page.
Louisa Cottages
At the corner of Akeman Street and Park Road, opposite the zoological museum, these attractive almshouses
were built in 1893 to house retired workers from the Rothschild Estate. They are typical of the estate style
devised by the architect, William Huckvale (1848-1936).
Church Square
In 1992 as part of the High Street Improvement Scheme this area of the town was opened up to emphasize the War Memorial and the Church. It features an unusual pavement maze in the shape of a zebra's head; Walter Rothschild used to ride around Tring in a zebra-drawn carriage.
The Memorial Garden
The Memorial Gardens, at the east end of the High Street, provide a peaceful place of contemplation.
