Competitive Hill Climb events were held on the dirt and gravel roads of the Estate each year from 1928 to 1935 when the RAC refused to grant a competition licence for further events due to concern for spectator safety. The events were organised by the Bugatti Owners’ Club (BOC) and the Middlesex County Automobile Club (MCAC).

To mark the 80^th anniversary of the last Hill Climb on the Estate, the Chalfont St Peter Feast Day, the Chalfont St Peter History Society and the Chalfont Heights Estate are jointly arranging a Commemorative Parade of cars from the 1930s to drive along the route of the course and through the Village to a display area on Golf Hill Common. The parade will take place on the morning of the Village Feast Day, Saturday 27^th June 2015.

The parade is open to owners of cars manufactured before 1940. For further details please contact [email protected]. Also see www.feastofstpeter.org.uk

Further details of the parade will be published on this website during May.

Chiltern Hill bridge has been closed today

Posted on: February 10th, 2014 by Alan Lane

Chiltern Hill bridge has been closed today, Monday 10th February, to enable the telephone mast to be removed. We received no notice of this closure from either Bucks County Council or from Galliford Try, the contractors for o2. The closure is for today only, but the contractors expect there to be traffic lights on the bridge for several days thereafter. They also expect a further closure next week for installation of a new mast but are not able to say when that will be.
