Waddesdon Greenway (walking and cycling route)
Waddesdon Greenway is a walking and cycling route that runs between Waddesdon and Aylesbury Vale Parkway railway station.
About the route
It is:
- 3 metres wide
- set in a landscape of trees and hedges
- lit with solar stud lighting
It was introduced as part of the overall Buckinghamshire Greenway to:
- encourage more people to walk and cycle
- improve air quality
- improve public health
- reduce congestion

Re-routing over the HS2 railway line at Fleet Marston
A section was re-routed in Fleet Marston because it crossed over the HS2 railway line. We have built a bridge over the HS2 site so this section of the greenway is now open.
