Part of the Oxford Way and is a really nice off road section even in winter this was good enough to traverse on a gravel bike, it's on the berm of an old railway line so should shed water well all year around.

Boasting magnificent views over the Vale of Aylesbury, Chinnor Hill is a patchwork of calcareous wildflower grassland, scrub and woodland. A network of bridleways including stretches of the ancient Ridgeway National Trail offer many miles of outstanding riding.

Unique and highly recommended! A social enterprise using the kitchen and dining area of a place like a "care home" but more a supported living home. Cafe, pastries and lunch all excellent! Lovely staff and residents. Open to public on Tues, Weds, Thurs, from 9:30 to 14:30. Check website for precise hours. https://www.waste2taste.co.uk/

Unless we didn’t find the right entrance to this path at the Princes Risborough end, off Lower Icknield Way, there is no way this is a bike path for a while. Right next to Horsenden Farms is a Pink Route that goes over thick grass (not rideable) and as far as we could see, still on grass with thick thorny weeds - we decided to give up and turn back. The track leading to Horsenden Farm is signposted as not having access to Phoenix Trail. We did not find any signs pointing to the trail around where the maps say it is.
