Phoenix Trail: Princes Risborough to Towersey

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Solid surface across flat land with fields on either side, nice views and easy riding across this disused rail line.

Phoenix Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It's gravelly and it's beautiful. Would avoid with expensive road bikes. The trail itself goes all the way to Thame along a disused railway. There is a level crossing which spreads the ballast for the tracks across the road -- fine on a mountain bike, tricky on a gravel bike with anything less than 40mm tyres. It's only for 10yards or so, so you can walk if needs be.

The Phoenix Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Really lovely trail! Hard enough packed to not be a worry on a road bike too.

Long Straight road, no traffic, just dog walkers and cyclists. Host to the Duck Race every year, and overall a good place to look at the river. These days, parts have been closed due to the disrepair, and the road surface isnt brilliant. But if you want to test your straight line speed, or look at the border of Oxon and Bucks, not a bad place.

Wheatley Windmill

Highlight • Historical Site

Wheatley Windmill is an 18th-century tower mill at grid reference SP 589 053 between the hamlet of Littleworth and Wheatley in Oxfordshire, England. The windmill has an octagonal plan which narrows to form the circular rotating cap.

The Mill Building.
The octagonal shape of this 18th-century tower mill is distinctly unusual; there are only two or three such towers in the UK. The tower has three storeys. There are two fireplaces on the ground floor (some mills only had one, and others none at all) and a properly framed staircase leads to the 'stone floor', i.e. the first floor, where the mill stones are set. The original curved dome cap was copper clad and has been described as being 'picturesque without being elegant'. There were originally four sails (which turned clockwise rather than the more usual anti-clock) but for a time the windmill operated on two sails only. These were of the 'common' type with a wooden frame rigged with canvas which could be set according to the state of the wind and the amount of work the miller had to do. The canvas used was similar to that used on Thames barges.
