Six Brothers Field
Six Brothers Field is Chaldon's main recreational area. It is situated at the end of Willey Broom Lane and is accessible by foot along the public bridleway. It was gifted to the National Trust on the 31st December 1926 by Martin Coles Harman.
He donated 6.69 acres for the benefit of Chaldon residents. It is used regularly by the Scouts and Chaldon Cricket Club

Mr Harman was one of six brothers, and consequently asked that the field should be forever know as Six Brothers Field. Incidentally he also had five sisters.

Chaldon Cricket Club was given permission to use the field by the National Trust in 1928. In the early days they only played matches on Saturdays, however, since 1950, matches have also been played on Sundays.

The field is also used a focal point for celebrations. The last such celebration was the Village Picnic in June 2006 witha bouncy castle and games for children.
