Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

11 Nov 2023This route is a great walk to Cranleigh and beyond if wished, along the Downs Link, which is what the route is from Bramley onwards, all the way to Shoreham if you wish, passing to the west of Horsham, Slinfold, Southwater, Christ’s Hospital, West Grinstead, Partridge Green, Henfield, Steyning, Bamber.
The DL is well-signposted.
The surface is good, predominantly hard earth, although can get a bit muddy in parts in the colder wetter months as horseriders and cyclists use it.

28 Aug 2022This is a great route from Guildford to Cranleigh mostly along the Wey South Path and parts of the Downs Link Path. The first third or so follows the River Wey and Wey Arun canal and from Bramley it follows the old railway line which ran from Guildford to Horsham. The route flat throughout running and mostly shaded by trees for the majority of the path. Much of the route passes through river and canal side and woodland habitat so expect to see plenty of wildlife.
Bramley forms a perfect rest spot with a couple of pubs The Jolly Farmer and The Wheatsheaf and the excellent Nest Coffee Shop https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Nest-Coffee-Shop/100063685203702/.
The last mile is becoming built up with large numbers of new houses being built at Cranleigh but the village itself is worth the trip with lots of pubs, cafes and places to stay.
