From Quainton to Waddesdon

Walk directions

Turn right from the car park and follow Station Road towards Quainton. Pass the houses, and when the road curves left, turn right at a footpath sign and stile to follow a track between fields. Quainton and its windmill can be seen on the left. Go through a gateway and turn immediately right to join the North Buckinghamshire Way.

Follow the edge of the field to a kissing gate by a field gate, and continue to a stile in the distant boundary. Cross the stile and continue ahead. Pass through a steel gate and stile. Continue ahead across the field, veering slightly left. Here you’ll find a stile, footbridge and two more stiles all next to each other. Cross the next small field, then a stile, then cross the railway line. Go over a plank bridge, a stile, then two stiles (the second a squeeze stile) through a hedge. Continue beside the hedge, right, for the length of the next long rectangular field, making for telegraph poles. Go over a stile, by the poles and a metal crash barrier, and continue straight ahead on a concrete track. Waddesdon Manor’s pinnacled skyline may be glimpsed up in the trees, right of the church. When the track bends right, go through a kissing gate into the field and turn immediately right.
