The area

This is a long, thin area of about 400m by 100m. Going from east to west, it is divided into three areas separated by areas of trees. Walking from Drayton Drayton Road, you enter an pleasant green open area then cross an avenue of trees which takes you into into a larger open area. You then pass through another area of trees which hides a gas utilities building. This takes you from Ladygrove Meadow into Chaunterelle Recreation Ground. Here you find a football ground and children's play area. The northern side of this area has an number of pieces of adult exercise equipment, some of which is hidden among the trees and bushes.

During the summer months, Active communities run keep fit sessions in the Chaunterlle Way recreation area on Saturday mornings.
