These houses front onto the footpath that runs from near the centre of Tring to Drayton Beachamp.
Buckingham Road Area, Tring

Buckingham Road is off Miswell Lane, and the East end of the road was formerly the site of the Red House, Miswell Lane, and its gardens. The first part of the estate (odd 1-33, even 2-10), plus Weavers Roar and Anns Close, were built in the late 1960s. The houses were all three or four bed roomed, mostly semi-detached - but with some 5 house terraces.
The west end of the road, Oakley Lane, Fairthorn Close, and the west end of Highfield Road were built around 1970. These houses were somewhat smaller terraced houses, many with garages in separate blocks. Some of the houses in Oakley Lane and Fairthorn Close have no direct frontage onto the road.

Tring to Drayton Beauchamp Footpath :: SP9011

This is an ancient footpath that originally ran in a virtually straight line from the centre of Tring across open fields towards Drayton Beauchamp.
The Tring end, in Hertfordshire, reference number TT 48, is now part of the town and parts have been diverted in housing estates or along roads. In 2015 the last section in Tring ran across Sallery's field but will be rerouted when planned development takes place in this area.
The Buckinghamshire part passes Beeches Farm and Broadview Farm Farm, Farm. It is not clear whether, before the canal was built in 1797, it went directly to Drayton Beauchamp church or past Upper Farm to the village.
