The Buckinghamshire Greenway

The Buckinghamshire Greenway is our vision for a continuous walking, wheeling and cycling route that goes through the length of Buckinghamshire (over 50 miles).

The route is being split into sections which will provide useful local links, create access to community amenities and connect to local public transport networks.

When complete, it will connect the entire county from the north (Silverstone) to the south (Colne Valley).

Future development

The way we're adding to the greenway enables us to build extensions to the different sections as we secure funding and consents for each section.

How the greenway interacts with HS2 works

The northern section is linked to the delivery of HS2 because it intersects with it in several locations.

We've agreed with HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport that the greenway should be incorporated into the HS2 design at these points.

Benefits of greenways and cycle routes

Creating the greenway contributes towards our main council priorities, including:

  • responding to climate change
  • improving health by reducing congestion and encouraging exercise
  • boosting local tourism

The greenway is accessible for all users. This builds on Buckinghamshire’s heritage as the birthplace of the Paralympics.

Stay updated with developments

We are working with partners on some parts of the greenway, including the Department for Transport, Sustrans and The Chiltern Society.
