Ski Slope Relic
The remains of a ski lift in the trees at the site of the old Wycombe Summit Ski Centre,
Once the longest dry ski slope in the country, the venture closed in 2005 after a fire destroyed the facilities at the top of the slope.
Rumours of reopening came and went, but the site was finally earmarked for housing in 2016. To this date it is still derelict, although a sign at the blocked off gate warns of Dangerous Site Investigations, whatever that might be.

Where the Ski Centre was
The Wycombe Summit dry ski slope had a chequered decade of life between 1994 and 2005. We had some good evenings here back in the day, but the venture was continually beset by problems, including a fatality and subsequent court case. The final straw was a fire in 2005 which destroyed the lodge building at the summit.
Various rumours have gone around about a new venture, but finally in 2016 the site was marked out for housing with leisure access to the surrounding woodland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wycombe_Summit
I'm surprised the map still marks it.
