The most spectacular rond-point in England? - The restoration of part of Charles Bridgeman's design for Tring Park, Hertfordshire

摘要

In March 201 I I received an email from the Woodland Trust inviting the Hertfordshire Gardens Trust to write a restoration plan forTring Park. This plan was a requirement for the bid they were making to the Heritage Lottery Fund, in partnershipwith Tring Museum, to gain funding for a project to increase awareness of what both the museum and Tring Park had to offer for the inhabitants of Tring and the surrounding villages, and for visitors to the area.Tring Park had become physically divorced from the town in the 1970s when the A41 Tring bypass was constructed. Although a pedestrian bridge had been provided over the road, the footpath linking the town to the bridge was so inconspicuous that many people were unaware of it and the park began tofade from local memory.
