Outfield Road, GERRARDS CROSS, SL9 9PN

There are a number of playing fields to the north of Chalfont St Peter. They are all on flat ground that comprise the flood plain of the River Misbourne.

Possibly utilized by the sack race and the egg and spoon brigade rather than aspiring Olympic athletes, but you never know, and just what prize lurks behind that cricket pavilion door for the winner...?

South Bucks Way on the edge of Chalfont St Peter

The Misbourne is a classic chalk stream that was threatened in the 20th century by low flow conditions caused by a number of different human activities. Please see Image for an explanation and further links. The River Misbourne eventually drains into the River Colne near Denham in Image

According to the Highway Code the road sign on the left warns of a "Level crossing with barrier or gate ahead", and given its juxtaposition on the page with the sign with a steam engine on it warning of a "Level crossing without barrier or gate ahead" the implication is that we are coming up to a railway here. You would have to walk an awful long distance along the South Bucks Way from here to find the next railway level crossing! Anyway the sign is on the minor road between the River Misbourne on the right and Chalfont St Peter Football Club's ground on the left.

Curiously the current Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping has the footpath approaching the footbridge from the west then terminating at it. In practice it continues eastwards up to Gravel Hill, as shown by the sign.
