Well Used Footpath In good condition and with the appearance of being in frequent use, a footpath beside the railway goes between the houses in Higher Denham and Denham Green. Farmland on this side of the line and a golf course on the other separate the two communities.

Denham Golf Club Station Opened in 1912 as a facility for the nearby golf club, the name has stayed. A suggestion in the 1950s to rename it Higher Denham after the small community nearby got turned down.
It would be interesting to know how many golfers, if any, still use the station.
Other people do. Over 30,000 a year at the last survey.  <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denham_Golf_Club_railway_station" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denham_Golf_Club_railway_station">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

Middle Road, Higher Denham A lot of thought went into naming the streets in the small community of Higher Denham on its hillside site.
Upper, Middle and Lower roads follow the contours of the valley side, while just round the corner from here the steeper Side Road follows the slope.

Over The Misbourne A private road called Over The Misbourne, a river which it does indeed cross, about where the fence ends mid picture.
It also goes over the M25, but that somehow doesn't sound quite as appealing.
