MISBOURNE GREENWAY

Scheme: Misbourne Greenway (Wendover to Great Missenden Section)

Client: Sustrans

Dates: August 2022 – Ongoing

​

Scope of Works:

​

The Misbourne Greenway is a new walking and cycling route between Wendover and Uxbridge, Buckinghamshire. The Wendover and Great Missenden Greenway aims to deliver an attractive and popular path for walkers and cyclists which avoids all traffic on the main A413, creating a largely traffic free route between the two stations. 

 

The project can be divided into 3 sections;

 

• Wendover to Dunsmore Lane where the final arrangements will depend upon the eventual outcome of all of HS2’s works. In the meantime during the interim years, there are bridleway and minor road options of a sort. 

• The central core new path along the railway corridor from Dunsmore Lane to the old Aylesbury Road near the Black Horse pub. This section, 4.2kms long is described in detail in this document and is proposed for construction in 2020. This new path will enable the public to travel down the Misbourne Valley in comfort, happily avoiding 5kms of the heavily trafficked main road A413.

• The section to the centre of Great Missenden can run on the existing Aylesbury Road, although walkers do have the options of two separate footpaths through to the Link Road and High Street. 

• Active travel charity Sustrans has been leading the design and build of the project to deliver the 4-kilometre section of this route between Dunsmore Lane, Wendover and Aylesbury Road, Great Missenden. Support has been provided from the Chiltern Society, Buckinghamshire Council and Greenways and Cycleroutes. This section is funded by the Department for Transport (DfT) and delivered as part of Sustrans’ ongoing programme to enhance the National Cycle Network (NCN).
