Chalfont St Giles: Permissive footpath to the Captain Cook Monument
Although the monument Image is in the private grounds of The Vache estate there is a permissive footpath to the tower, about 800 metres long, accessed by walking up the main driveway to the house from the B4442 Vache Lane, then striking off to the left over a stile at a set of gates with a green sign. This footpath takes one through a wood known as the Reservoir Plantation around the west side of the main house of the estate, and this is one of the views along the path.
Please note that permission to use the footpath may be withdrawn at any time.
