By public transport

If travelling by train, the x74 is a direct bus service from Slough. There is no longer a direct bus service from Beaconsfield. If travelling to Burnham take a connecting train to Slough and take the bus from there. The bus stop is in Farnham Common, just before Kingsway and opposite a car show room.  From here, walk north past the shops and turn left into Beeches Road; you will see the entrance to the reserve when you get to the end of Beeches Road. This is approximately a 10 minute walk.

By car

From the M4 (junction 6) follow the A355 north or from the M40 (junction 2) follow the A355 south until you reach Farnham Common. In Farnham Common, turn down Beeches Road. Drive to the end of this road and at the junction go straight ahead into Lord Mayors Drive. Parking is available in several large bays on your left.

Parking conditions apply to all areas of Burnham Beeches, please see details on the car parking and season tickets page.

The City of London staff at Burnham Beeches have worked with Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) to produce a transportation strategy for Burnham Beeches. This work has already delivered great improvements in the way traffic moves around and to the Beeches including:

• Reduced traffic speed
• Provision of cycle parking and links to the wider cycling network
• Improved signage on roads and other routes
• Introduction of car park charges at weekends and bank holidays
• Safer crossing points
• Extension of the Car Free Zone
• More provision for disabled drivers

There are still more improvements that can be made so we continue to work with BCC, developing their wider Local Transport Plan to reduce the negative impacts of traffic both around the Beeches and in the wider area and encouraging visitors to leave the car at home or use other, more sustainable methods to visit the site.
