Friends of Railway Walk

An area in Buckingham which once echoed to the sound of trains steaming through is now a haven for wildlife. Volunteer environmental group Friends of Railway Walk, which has been running for over five years, takes care of one of the town's key sites in a bid to encourage more wildlife and plant life.

The Railway Walk group was formed out of the Buckingham Community Wildlife Project and carries out clearing and conservation work at the site, which runs along Station Road, near the University of Buckingham. The walk follows part of the town's disused railway, which ceased operation in 1966.

The group meets on the first Saturday in the month in the University of Buckingham car park, at the top of Station Road, in Buckingham. For more information email railwaywalk@hotmail.co.uk
