Keep Hill Woods pathway improvements
We've improved the paths in Keep Hill Woods, High Wycombe. This supports walking, cycling, wheeling and horse riding.
These new routes connect development areas (including Pine Trees and Abbey Barn Park) to the Rye.
We completed the project in December 2024.
This project is identified in the our adopted High Wycombe Local Cycling & Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP)

About the improvements we've made
We were sensitive to the woodland, avoiding removing trees where possible and we protected tree roots.
The improvements include:
- smooth and durable pathways using recycled tyres, resin and stone
- a light golden colour (to soften the look in the area)
- a rubber crumb texture on top so that it's:
- soft for horses' hooves
- firm enough for all other users
The improvements have not changed the gradient of the pathways or affected other pathways in the woodland.
Improvements planned for early 2025
We're planning minor changes to the road crossing at Warren Wood Drive to support users moving between the woodland and The Rye.
