The Railway Walk is a slice of wildlife heaven that runs along the path of the old Buckingham railway line. A series of ponds create nature friendly wet spaces, alongside glades, an orchard and raised bridges with views across Buckingham.
Birds, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians and wild flowers can all be seen by observant visitors – it’s well worth wandering this way as part of your daily journey to school or work, or to take time out and appreciate the wild beauty.
The length of the walk starting at the A421 is maintained by Buckingham Town Council, while the Tingewick Road section (marked the Scenic Walk) is managed by Buckinghamshire Council. Locally the entire stretch of this passage is known as the Railway Walk and is well supported by activities to maintain and protect the space by the Buckingham Railway Walk Conservation Group.
