More work in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire area.

https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/news/2022/february/improvement-works-set-to-begin-on-the-phoenix-trail-in-south-oxfordshire/

Part of NCN 57, a stretch running east of Towersey will be improved, making it safer and more accessible for everyone who wants to use it. Work will start on 7th March and there is a signposted diversion. The route is part of the old railway line between Thame in South Oxfordshire, and Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire

If you know the Phoenix Trail – which is lovely – you will know the curvy-topped bench-like structures or sculptures along the way. Somewhere I have a short video of a friend, who has far more skills than I, riding along one.
