Help connect Aylesbury

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Aylesbury’s Slow Ways.

If you are looking for a shorter route you can cut out Waddesdon and go south of Upper cranwell farm and via Upper Winchendon but it is more muddy....

After navigating the busy roads in Aylesbury, the route then starts along the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal (photo #1). After the lock, the path becomes narrower, and was muddy in places, but still fairly easy going (photo #6). At watery Lane, the route then proceeds along the Grand Union Canal's main arm towards Pitstone (photo #7, #8, #11). It's a wide path (photo #10), and easy going again....

However, the real problems with this route are where it crosses the canal from the left bank to the right bank making a beeline for Pitstone. As I walked the "right" way around Pitstone as part of TriPit Three, I will include that section as part of my review for AylPit Two as well....

Be aware that the route of HS2 crosses paths between Waddesdon and Aylesbury Vale Parkway Station. Although it looks as if the path used for Briayl one will remain open, there may be some disruption until the line is completed....

On leaving WInslow, the first footpath across a field is poorly waymarked and the field itself is totally covered in tall thistles. Then the route goes back to the main road (again fast traffic and no footpath) and continues along that road all the way to Oving and on to Whitchurch....

If you know the area, this might be considered a slightly boring route at the start and finish with a walk along the canal and a road walk. From Aylesbury a fairly straightforward exit from the town to reach the canal followed by the canal towpath. Interesting section from there to reach canal but may be muddy in places....

Good route - walked it Aylesbury to Tring on a frosty April morning. Mostly flat with a couple of slight ascents at the Tring end. Canal towpath good at Aylesbury but gets muddier and narrower the further you go along....

There is one small section that doesn’t appear to be a public footpath - as it takes you through an office building car park - but otherwise a good route. Technical in places due to uneven surfaces and a very narrow bridge. Selection of some access issues attached!...
