Chiltern Heritage Trail
The Chiltern Heritage Trail will be closed between Great Missenden and Potter Row, due to HS2 construction works. Below is a suggested (signed) diversion via GMI/2 & GMI/3, starting soon after leaving The Lee, or when leaving Gt Missenden
Via GMI/2
This (almost) avoids roads, but cuts off a corner of the trail. From Gt Missenden -
- Take GMI/1(F) NorthWest just after the Link Road car park
- After passing some stabling, turn right into a pedestrian underpass (under the A413)
- Take GMI/2 up to Potter Row (GMI/12 is also closed)
- follow GMI/3 to rejoin the Heritage Trail (TLE/42) just before Croft Dell
Alternative, via Frith Hill & GMI/16
More road, & more of the Trail. From Gt Missenden -
- Cross the A413 (not recommended) & take GMI/31/3 towards Frith Hill, OR better,
- take GMI/1 or the High Street to Church St,
- then GMI/32 to Frith Hill. This passes under both the A413 & B485
- Ascend Frith Hill, then turn left on GMI/16 just after 'Weights & Measures' (one time pub, now owned by HS2)
- Continue on GMI/16 to resume the Trail where it meets GMI/13, OR
turn left on to Potter Row, then right onto GMI/13 to rejoin the Trail
