Route

Cricklade to Oxford

Cricklade | Witney | Eynsham | Oxford

This section of the route is still under construction but will join NCR 45 at Cricklade to Oxford.

Oxford to Thame

Oxford | Horspath | Littleworth | Wheatley | Waterperry | Worminghall | Shabbington | Thame

This section is largely on country lanes.

Thame to Princes Risborough

Phoenix Trail

Thame | Horsenden | Princes Risborough

7 miles (11 km) in length, this section follows the Phoenix Trail along the route of a disused railway. The surface is a mixture of tarmac and compacted grit.

Princes Risborough to Chesham

NCN Route 57 near Great Missenden

Princes Risborough | Great Hampden | Prestwood | Great Missenden | South Heath | Chesham

This section leaves the relatively flat Oxfordshire countryside and continues on into the Chiltern Hills. Leaving Princes Risborough the route climbs up Kop Hill to the top of Whiteleaf Cross. From there it continues along small lanes to Prestwood. The short section between Prestwood and Great Missenden takes you off-road along a compacted grit path.

Chesham to Hemel Hempstead

Chesham | Hemel Hempstead

This section is under construction.

Hemel Hempstead to Welwyn Garden City

NCN Route 57 following the route of the Nicky Line near Harpenden

Much of this section is traffic free as it follows the Nicky Line between Hemel Hempstead and Harpenden.
