the phoenix trail

 

cyclists on country trailThe Phoenix Trail is a seven-mile path for cyclists, walkers, wheelchair users and horse riders, between Thame and Princes Risborough. In the future, it is expected to be extended as far as Oxford. It forms part of Route 57 of the National Cycle Network built by Sustrans, the civil engineering charity. The Phoenix Trail won an Arts and Business Award and was awarded a Certificate of Distinction from the European Commission as a European Greenway.

cyclists on country trail The Phoenix Trail follows the route of a former railway line. As such, it is flat and the surface is ideal for wheelchairs and pushchairs as well as bicycles. There are spectacular sculptures and seating every 500 metres, so visitors can rest and enjoy the scenery. Students of the former Rycotewood College built these impressive sculptures.
