Aldbury
Aldbury is a village in Hertfordshire in England, near the borders of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The nearest town and railway station is Tring. Uphill from the village are the Bridgewater monument and the Ashridge estate.
Its centre has an old church (dedicated to Saint John the Baptist) and primary school, as well as a duckpond and some stocks, making it a popular rural location for films and television. Amongst the television series filmed in the village are:
- several episodes of the popular sixties TV series, The Avengers, including the complete episode Murdersville;
- the initial advertisements for the National Lottery - despite the fact that villagers were unable to buy tickets at the time; and
- the short-lived Shillingbury Tales series, filmed in 1980.
It is a small village of around 800 inhabitants, with a small shop and two traditional country pubs: the Greyhound and the Valiant Trooper. Both are run by the same man.
The largest house in the village is Stocks House which, among its various incarnations, was the rural base of the Playboy Club in the UK.
It should not be confused with the similar sounding Albury, especially Albury, Hertfordshire.
