Pete's Walks- Cholesbury, Chesham, The Lee (page 3 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.
Eventually this very tightly enclosed path emerged into a much more open area, running between a hedge on the left and a wire fence on the left, with a fine view along a valley on the edge of Chesham - the valley contains Pednor Road and is possibly called Pednor Bottom, a name that appears further along it (in the opposite direction to the way I was walking). I followed the path past two paddocks or fields on my left, then it turned right for a few yards before turning left and continuing in the same southeastern direction as before, now with an area of bushes descending the slope on my right. When I came to a path junction, I turned sharply right on a path that descended through the bushes to reach Pednor Road. Across this I took the leftmost of two paths crossing a large paddock half-right, then continued across a smaller paddock to reach a lane.

I turned right and followed the lane for a short distance - I ignored a bridleway going left, then took a second one just after the lane turned right. I then followed the bridleway along the bottom of a pleasant valley called Herberts Hole, going almost dead straight in in a westerly direction for about a mile and a half.

The bridleway ended at a lane junction, where I went straight on for a few yards then took a footpath on the right. This went uphill between hedges and fences, then continued along a drive for a short distance to reach a path junction where the drive turned right.
