Slough to Gerrards Cross
A station-to-station walkBuckinghamshireSouth East England
Gorgeous nature reserves and rural estates. A varied route taking in nature reserves and rural estates alongside roads, former tips and unusual edge-land spaces. Stiles, narrow paths, broken gates and mud and deep puddles; Stoke Common is boggy either side of the path. Some grassland sections with grazing livestock. Passes through Stoke Common nature reserve (boggy, with a Scandinavian feel) and Bulstrode Park, plus Gerrards Cross Common. A road with pavement passes close to shops in Stoke Poges.
Lunch: Shops close to the route in Stoke Poges.
Warnings: Follows a busy road for a quarter of the walk. The B416 out of Slough is busy, with a pavement that becomes narrow and close to traffic. Crossing a busy road later, plus a long stretch beside a busy road with a narrow path against a wall to enter Slough. Mud and deep puddles persist even in dry spells; fields with cows.
