The Chilterns area has an abundance of natural beauty featuring magnificent countryside, hills, woodlands and picturesque villages. The Chilterns stretches from Oxfordshire in the Thames Valley through Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire to Hitchin in Hertfordshire.
The Phoenix Trail is between Princes Risborough and Thame on National Cycle Network Route 57, just 10 minutes via car from The Peacock Country Inn.
The trail features some wonderful artworks, red kites, impressive birds of prey, railway heritage and magnificent views of Chiltern Hills. Enjoy the fresh air and natural beauty with your family, friends or loved ones all year round. The Phoenix Trail has something to suit everyone of all ages. The path is a flat, well-surfaced, which is ideal for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The first 2.5 miles of Thame are surfaced with tarmac and the remainder with compacted limestone dust. There’s also seating every 500 metres.

The Ridgeway Path
If you are passionate about walking, historic landmarks, the British countryside, wildlife and traditional country pubs, then The Ridgeway Path could provide you with a delightful challenge.
Located in the South of England, the path is an ancient chalk ridge route that has been in use for over 4,000 years. It was said to be Britain’s oldest road, taking people 87 miles from Avebury in Wiltshire, to Ivanhoe Beacon on the Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire border.
