Tring Rural is a civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. It is composed of the villages of Long Marston, Wilstone, Puttenham, and the hamlets of Gubblecote and Astrope. It is largely situated the north of the town of Tring. Tring itself is not part of the parish.
Tring Rural came into existence as an entity on December 31, 1894 when it became separate from Tring Civil Parish, although at that time it was smaller than at present as it did not include Puttenham. The present boundaries were established April 1, 1964, when Puttenham Civil Parish was abolished.

Famous quotes containing the word rural:
“Some bring a capon, some a rural cake,
Some nuts, some apples; some that think they make
The better cheeses bring ‘em, or else send
By their ripe daughters, whom they would commend
This way to husbands, and whose baskets bear
An emblem of themselves in plum or pear.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
