Stoke & Newcastle Ramblers

Aylesbury has a newly constructed Greenway footpath / cycleway along the northern perimeter of Aylesbury from Aylesbury Parkway Train Station to the Buckingham Park housing estate, taking in the ruins of St. Peters Church conservation area where there was an Elizabethan village, manor and estate. All tarmac but there could possibly be isolated areas of shallow flooding if following a prolonged wet period. 
The early part of our walk has some pavement walking. There are views of gentle hills and villages to the North and we walk quite close to the land-mark wind turbine.
There are opportunities for a comfort break in lightly wooded areas in the middle third of the walk.
We walk through historical areas of Aylesbury town centre, including Pebble Lane, past the unusual St. Mary's Church and museum.

Return to Aylesbury Parkway via Chiltern Railways at 56minutes past the hour, bring card for payment.

Update Tue 2nd Jan: Weather forecast looks good and no train strike so am expecting to go ahead as planned.
