Getting There

There is no public transport to the site. From Amersham a taxi in 2023 was around £13 and took about 15 minutes to make the journey. Alternatively take the train or tube to Chorleywood from where it's a 2 1/2 mile walk (leave the station and take the road down and under the railway line, cross at the bottom and take the continuation of the road up the hill (Shire road). Keep following this road straight ahead until it takes a sharp turn to the left at which point continue straight ahead onto the narrow lane (Old Shire Road). Keep following this road straight ahead, it turns into a track and then into a bridleway. Follow this until the bridleway takes a sharp turn to the left at this point signs for the Chiltern Way take you into the woods to the right. Follow these through the woods and out onto the heathland until you reach a gate at the Newlands estate, turn left and follow the road the short distance to the car park for the Open Air Museum)
