28 Apr 2023I walked from Beaconsfield to Gerrards Cross.
Immediately out of the station is a long flight of stairs, during this walk there is narrow paths, tight kissing gates and barriers, not a walk for wheels.
Then along a road to a golf course, there are woods here but also walking alongside greens with balls coming at you head on, take care. Beautiful countryside to be seen along narrow paths made quite muddy by recent rain. Walking in a quiet road for a short while the through Jordans a quaint exclusive Quaker village. More fenced-in paths opening out into a field then lovely beech woods and bluebells (duck under the fallen tree). Another fenced path past Parkwood Farm. I missed the path as it crossed a driveway here and was curtly reminded by a passing Gentleman that the 10m wide drive was private and that what I wanted was the muddy overgrown 50cm path behind the barbed wire fence. I obliged. Further on there is a 100m section along a fairly busy road without a verge or pavement, care needed here. There is a tarmac path alongside the railway to the station then on to the town centre. Benches outside Tesco.
Despite feeling generally unwelcome there are some beautiful sights, wonderful woods and pleasant paths. Muddy due to recent rain, and some short steep hills, but a good walk.

26 Aug 2022This is a pretty good route, mostly on footpaths. Some of these are quite narrow and overgrown, with barbed wire on one side, but most are better. The route goes through Jordans and touches on Seer Green, and then crosses a golf course.

30 Apr 2022I walked this from Gerrards Cross to Beaconsfield on a warm sunny spring day, without it having rained significantly in the last two weeks. It starts off following a footpath along the rail way. The original route then moves away and follows Orchehill Avenue, but as another reviews says, it is better to stick following the railway until Bull Lane, because on that southern side there is a pavement. I found many of the footpaths, although green, a little claustrophobic as there was often a high fence or barbed wire fence on both sides of the walk. At parts it was also narrow, and very likely to be muddy in wetter weather. It goes through a little village (Jordans), which is quite pleasant, and from there it goes down a hill and straight up again into Seer Green where there is a little street walking. Crossing the street (Long Bottom Lane) then brings you across a golf course for quite some time, before crossing the rail way and the new "Beaconsfield Eastern Relief Road" to walk through some residential streets, an alleyway, and along a slightly busy Maxwell Road to find some steep steps down to the station. It was a lovely walk, but I would have given it 3½ stars due to the encroachment of so many fences. But there were some great views and many blue bells.

10 Jan 2022I found this a really nice, beautiful, safe route, and I would recommend it to others.
It is clearly signposted and follows public footpath signs the whole way (apart from in the Ash Bed woods. When entering the woods from the Beaconsfield direction, the path is straight ahead but it doesn't seem to be signposted. It is a well defined path though!).
One tip - I would watch out for the main road when you come into Gerrards Cross, the route takes you left onto Bull lane where there is no pavement and it is quite busy, I found it a bit scary. I would instead turn right along Bull lane where there is a pavement, and then turn onto the path that runs along the trainline from there (that is what I did on my way back and I much preferred it).
There are some thin paths that are probably inaccessible for a wheelchair uses or pushchairs, particularly in winter - it was fairly muddy and leafy in parts. Might be better in summer though!
Overall it's a really nice route.

07 May 2021I walked from the Ash Beds to Beaconsfield train station. Generally an easy and pleasant route. Slight confusion as the route goes straight across the road at Welder's Lane, but it looked from the map as if it might follow the road briefly. A number of stiles, some steep-ish hills and narrow alleys, so may not be suitable for those with trouble walking or pushing prams etc.
