Swan's Way

Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire

106 km / 66 miles

From the Northants border the route crosses the Vale of Aylesbury to meet the Ridgeway near Princes Risborough and then follows the chalk slopes of the Chilterns to the Thames at Goring. There is a link with the Cross Bucks Way at Swanbourne.

The Judges' Ride (16 miles), coincident for short sections with the Swan's Way and the Ridgeway, provides a link to such as Stoke Row, the location of the Maharajah's Well.

UPDATE October 2021 - We have been advised of several closures of sections of footpaths in Buckinghamshire, some of which are long-term until 2024, all relating to work on HS2. These may affect this LDP. It may be worth checking out Buckinghamshire County Council's website for the most up to date information.
