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.

19 Jan 2023I enjoyed walking this route as the sun was setting.
Walking along the coast is great and there are some great views across Torbay. The bit along the A379 is a shame, but it's not that long in the scheme of things. I'd probably not travel to walk this route just for the fun of it without combining it with one of the connecting Slow Ways... but if I was in Paignton or Torquay I'd enjoy walking it again to get to the other.
Someone local might be able to suggest another route that's longer and skips the A379.

24 Dec 2021First half of walk is along main road and on a summer’s day was hot and noisy. On reaching outskirts of Preston route drops down through park to marine parade and promenade. If tide is out, it is possible to walk along beach to pier and Paignton sands. Numerous routes through town to railway station.

26 Apr 2021Walked this route from Torquay to Paignton. Approximately the first half is along side a busy road with a good footpath pavement although there’s a pinch point where the road and shared cycle & footpath have a pinch point reducing the path to around one metre fifty. A pleasant enough walk between the two town with the only hiccup being the current (hopefully temporary) closure of Garfield Road, but this can be bypassed using the parallel Beach Road to the south.
