Pavis Wood is a hill located near Hastoe in Tring, south-western Hertfordshire,England. A point on its eastern slopes is the highest point in the county of Hertfordshire at 244 m (801 ft). The area is often considered as ancient woodland comprising of a wide variety of plants such as the Yellow Pimpernel and Wood Mellick. A bridleway crosses the woodland which can be accessed throughout the year as well as the Ridgeway National Trail which is dominated mainly by beech, oak and ash.
The summit plateau lies less than 3 miles from the border of Buckinghamshire and part of the Aylesbury Vale which contains the Buckinghamshire county top Haddington Hill 267 m (876 ft).
The summit area is marked only by a clutter of litter and disposable rubbish, and there is no trig point although the views are fairly extensive and remains a pleasant walk for local peak baggers around south-east England.
