The utterly magnificent interior at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire, completed in the Neo Renaissance style for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, in 1883. I am still to visit Waddesdon and see, amongst everything else, its impressive collection of Sèvres porcelain.

Next part of the Lemmington set. Based off Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire.

Lemmington Manor is the ancestral home of the Lemmington family in Windenburg. Built by Thomas de Lemmington, 3rd Earl of Abingdon in the early 19th century. He chose the site on top of the old dead oak of Windenburg. Legend says that the bones of the Windenburg Hessian Horseman lies underneath.

Over the past 30 or 40 years transport infrastructure in the UK has expanded greatly, and disproportionately. Many new roads have been built, and existing roads widened. There have been new airports and runways and terminals to handle an explosion in traffic. And even some new railway lines and cycleways and footpaths, although not so many.

For every pothole in the road, rightly reported as dangerous, I could show you just as many broken down stiles on foot paths, muddy and slippery or overgrown rights-of-way, and dodgy gates that no longer shut. Relatively small sums could put these defects right, but roads have always been the national priority, and obsession.

Grandiose road-building projects still dominate the nation’s wish list. A £1.6 billion M4 bypass in South Wales? The money will be found. £2.6 billion for an Oxford to Cambridge “Expressway”? It’s in the spending plans.

Schemes such as this will make life easier for millions of people down the years. That’s undeniable. But there is also solid evidence that walking and cycling is good for people’s health. Yet you have to search hard for a new footpath or cycleway of significance. They are being built, but not in big numbers.

Celebrate

We should, though, celebrate those new schemes that are being completed, with local or national value. Earlier this year (2018) a new footpath was created, with a proper hard surface (although over only half its length, because there wasn’t enough money to make it to that standard throughout), about a kilometre long, to join our village and the next one. Previously people walking between the two places had to brave fast traffic, or walk uncomfortably on an overgrown verge.

The money came from the local “new homes bonus”, a grant paid by central government to councils to reflect and incentivise housing growth in their areas.

Another scheme close to my home is bigger and rather more exciting. The 4 km, traffic free, Waddesdon Greenway, intended only for walkers and cyclists, from Aylesbury Vale Parkway Station to Waddesdon Manor, was opened on 13th September (2018). Within a few years the new London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds HS2 railway will pass either over or under the trail.

The £1million project was funded by the Department for Transport as part of a strategy to connect rural communities (in this case the village of Waddesdon) to their nearest rail head.The ribbon was cut by transport Minister Jesse Norman, which was a measure of its importance. It almost seems mean-spirited to add that generous public funding was still not sufficient; the trail was completed with the help of volunteers who helped to build two bridges, fill and lay 3,000 sandbags for 25 culvert “headwalls”, and install benches.

Those involved in some way included Buckinghamshire County Council, Greenways and Cycle Routes, the Cycle Rail Working Group, the Rail Delivery Group and several local landowners, including the Waddesdon Estate and Rothschild Foundation.

Trailblazer

The Greenway was designed by John Grimshaw, of Greenways and Cycle Routes. He said: "It has all the potential to be a trailblazer for rural routes between villages and local rail stations.”

The organisations behind the new project want to introduce more walking and cycling routes to connect towns, villages, airports and tourist attractions along the HS2 corridor - which passes through Buckinghamshire, although there is no station there.

John Grimshaw began to develop traffic free paths in 1979, with the 24km Bristol and Bath Railway Path. In 1984 he founded Sustrans and coordinated the creation of the National Cycle Network. Since standing down as Sustrans Chief Executive, in John Grimshaw and Associates, he has specialised in drawing up proposals for cycling and walking projects intended to make a “real difference” to local people.

The company prepares proposals and advances them by completing negotiations for each route, and handling the paperwork, including planning consents and other agreements and licences, working with local authorities, campaigners and interest groups.

HS2 cycling routes

It has already drawn up proposals for a cycling route from London to Leeds and Manchester linking all the towns and villages close to the line of the high-speed HS2 line, with a high-quality cycling route.

The detailed route studies for a National Cycleway associated with the entire length of HS2, which Grimshaw and Associates has been working on with partner companies, are now complete. The brief was to propose works to the highest European standard, and to pass through the centre of towns and communities within a 3 miles wide corridor either side of the HS2 route.

The outcome would be a large series of local routes, built to the highest current standard, each of them benefiting communities which otherwise receive no gain from the new railway, because its stations will be so far away.

Local communities would have access to their countryside and nearby settlements, while visitors and tourists would be able to use them as part of longer national routes.

The Aylesbury Vale Parkway Station to Waddesdon Greenway, for example, provides the only practical safe and attractive route north of Aylesbury town.

Elsewhere in Bucks the company is working with county and parish councils to make the most of opportunities which the new rail line presents to foster popular cycling.

The UK government launched its £1.2 billion cycling and walking investment strategy in 2017. It wants to make cycling and walking “a natural choice” for shorter journeys, or as part of longer journeys by 2040.

One of the many beautiful pictures by Nick Knight installed at @waddesdonmanor_nt for the exhibition “Roses from my garden”. I loved this picture because of the vivid red against the white petals . He is pushing the boundaries in the style of the old masters to emulate their painting with a twist on it. . . . . #oldmasters #oldmasterspaintings #rosesfrommygarden #nickknight #roses #naturephotography #waddesdonmanor #nationaltrust #lovenature #heritage (at Waddesdon Manor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAT5Rvlx8w/?igshid=1rqhap0i6isl8
