A magnetic nano near to Stratton Copse & Bow Wood; placed along the South Bucks Way running through the beautiful village of Chalfont St Giles.
Chalfont St Giles with its duck pond, 18th century cottages and ancient High Street, a picturesque village on the edge of the Chilterns.
It was believed the word Chalfont derived from the old English cealc, chalk, and funt, spring; this theory was supported by the fact that the wells of the district are thickly impregnated with chalk. It was also suggested it was an abbreviation of Celdenes funtan or Chiltern springs (Celdenes, or in the original Celtic Celyddon, being the early form of Chiltern). Still others preferred chald, or as it was pronounced at the time of the Anglo-Saxons, "cald," meaning "cold," which became ceald pronounced "kyald." This was softened to "chald" and Chaldfont spoken rapidly became "Chalfont," meaning cold springs.
