Misbourne Greenway
Active travel charity Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans) has led the design and construction of a 4 kilometre section of the Misbourne Greenway, connecting Dunsmore Lane, Wendover to Aylesbury Road, Great Missenden. This vital stretch enhances access to the countryside and supports sustainable travel in the Chilterns.
The project has been delivered with support from the Chiltern Society, Buckinghamshire Council, Network Rail, and Greenways and Cycle Routes, reflecting a strong collaborative effort across sectors.
Funding has been provided by the Department for Transport (DfT) as part of Walk Wheel Cycle’s ongoing programme to improve the National Cycle Network (NCN), making it safer, more accessible, and better connected for everyone.
How long it takes to travel the Misbourne Greenway
The greenway is 4 kilometres long meaning it would take approximately:
- 55 minutes to walk the length of it
- 10 minutes to cycle the length of it
Statement regarding Wendover – Wendover Dean section of the route.
The Misbourne Greenway will eventually continue northwards to connect Wendover Dean into the heart of Wendover. However, the route to Wendover intersects with the Small Dean Viaduct and the Wendover Green Tunnel, both currently under construction. Due to the interface with the ongoing major construction works in the area, HS2 Ltd are unable to provide a temporary route from Small Dean Lane to Wendover. There is no available route that would be safe for path users without significantly impacting construction activities. Buckinghamshire Council and HS2 Ltd are working to ensure that this ‘missing link’ between Wendover Dean and Wendover will be delivered upon completion of HS2 construction works. This will include HS2 Ltd delivering much of the path along the A413 London Road and the Council constructing the gap between Dunsmore Lane and where HS2 construction works stop. Buckinghamshire Council is working to secure this at the earliest possible opportunity.
