Pednor Mead is that part of Pednor which is closest to Chesham along the valley known as Pednor Bottom. A number of springs that source the [[River Chess]] lie along this bottom. There are farms called Great and Little Pednor which lie beyond the town at this point. The roads connecting them are used for the annual "Tour de Pednor" charity cycle ride.<br />
<br />
[[Pednormead End]] is a neighbourhood within Chesham adjacent to the Old Town at the start of the Pednor Road.<br />
