Making life better by water
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.
Tring Reservoirs are renowned for their birdlife. Great crested grebes, swans and herons are usually on view, and in winter there are many kinds of ducks and a huge gull roost. In autumn, the mud banks provide a ‘bed and breakfast' stop for waders migrating southwards.
It takes time and funding to keep Tring Reservoirs safe and beautiful for everyone. Your support makes it possible.

For customers of the local pub/café
Pause for a chat with our friendly volunteers, they’ll tell you more about the canal, the area and the work they do to make Tring special. Repairing locks, building flower planters for wildlife, clearing fallen trees after storms – they do it all.
Tring reservoirs are just off the A41 between Aylesbury and Hemel Hempstead. There is a Pay & Display car park at Startops Reservoir.
Tring station is 2.5 miles away, you can get there by walking along the canal.
