Ashridge Park

Estate in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, England. It formerly belonged to the Dukes of Bridgewater and Earls of Brownlow. A portion of the estate, including Ivinghoe Beacon, has been acquired by the National Trust; another portion forms part of Whipsnade Park.

Ashridge Management College, a centre for management development, now holds 0.95 sq km/0.37 sq mi of the estate. The college is a neo-Gothic building, which stands in its own grounds. During its long history the college has been successively a monastery (founded in 1285), a royal residence, a manor house, and a ducal mansion.
