Tring Grounds Project - Groundworks and Landscaping
Natural History Museum
Scope as published
The Tring Grounds Project delivers a comprehensive enhancement of the museum's external landscape, creating a more accessible, engaging and environmentally diverse visitor experience. The proposals include a reconfigured arrival and parking area, improved pedestrian circulation routes, new accessible pathways through the grounds and woodland, and strengthened connections between key visitor destinations. A geology trail forms a central interpretive element of the scheme, incorporating chalk and stone specimens sourced from local and regional geological contexts to help visitors engage with the area's geological history. Hard landscaping works include new paths, seating, interpretation features, gathering spaces and carefully detailed surface treatments designed to improve accessibility and visitor comfort. Soft landscaping proposals introduce a new orchard, meadow and woodland enhancements, habitat creation, strategic planting and ecological management measures that support biodiversity while enriching the character of the site. Together, the landscape, geology and interpretation elements create a coherent visitor journey that celebrates the museum's scientific mission, encourages outdoor learning and exploration, and improves the functionality, accessibility and sustainability of the grounds.
