Loudwater: Dismantled railway track through Fennell's Wood

This is the trackbed of the former Wycombe Railway line between Maidenhead and Wycombe that was opened in 1854 and was partially closed, a little after the Beeching era, in 1970. The line still exists between Maidenhead and Bourne End but the track was lifted north of Bourne End and the two stations at Wooburn Green, and here at Loudwater, were closed. The site of the former Loudwater railway station is behind the photographer on the other side of Treadaway Hill but is now covered by an industrial estate. The trackbed is now a public footpath. Fennell's Wood is to the left and has been split in two by the construction of the M40 Motorway.
