Pete's Walks- Chenies, Chipperfield Common, Ley Hill (page 2 of 6)
If you are considering walking this route yourself, please see my disclaimer. You may also like to see these notes about the maps and GPX files.
Here I went a few yards left along a drive before taking a path on the other side. This ran between fences with a wood on my left, then followed a tall hedgeline on my right through some empty and rather overgrown paddocks to reach Sarratt. I went straight on to reach the minor road through the village, where I turned right. The road soon turned left, and I then turned left into George V Way. Following the pavement on the left, a path soon appeared ahead leading on between fences and an old hedge on my right and then continuing past playing fields. On reaching a path junction I kept left, soon passing a gate on the right beyond which I could see a field of Christmas trees. The path then dropped downhill past paddocks and a stable to reach a lane.

I turned left but then immediately turned right into another lane that led me through Commonwood Common (which, confusingly, appears to be a wood!). On the other side of the wood, I went right at a junction. When this road turned right, I went left down a drive or track (by a pub on the left). When this turned left, I took a footpath that went straight on, initially between fences with paddocks or enclosures either side, then alongside a tall hedgerow with more paddocks on my left. This path brought me to the wooded Chipperfield Common at Apostles Pond.
