This 6.5 circular walk offers a chance to explore a wildlife corridor made possible by the efforts of a local canal restoration society determined to preserve the track of a waterway that hasn't seen boat traffic for over a hundred years. At the same time, it offers a contrast with modern society, cutting across land belonging to an RAF training base, marked with a fighter plane at its entrance a very different type of transport to horse drawn narrowboats. Although there is one long cut across an open field, most of the walk follows the path of the old canal, and is therefore, by definition, flat, offering easy walking. Dogs will enjoy the walk too, although please keep them away from the many species of duck that share the water with you, and bring some binoculars (although don't point them at MOD property!). Allow two and a half hours to complete the walk.

The cafe has undergone a major refurbishment and has a decent choice of food and drinks with ample seating room. There is ample free parking space and toilets are also available.

The full address for the cafe is:
Your Cafe in the Park, London Rd, Aston Clinton, Aylesbury HP22 5HL.
