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.

20 Jun 2023Stillington to Shotton part of the route . There is a shop,takeaway and when open two cafes in the industrial estate in Stillington but no public toilets , so a good stop off point for refreshments . Sometimes the village hall is in use if you ask the users for access there are toilets available . Wed 1-3 there is a coffee afternoon which costs £1
The walk takes you up Morrison Street named after the philanthropist Walter Morrison who was a business man who founded the carlton iron works .
The church is a listed building due to the shape of the tower this covers all the church grounds including the wall !
The way through the woods is clearly marked and the farmer has kept the field paths clear . Depending on the crops you may find them taller than you !
Unfortunately his path clearance doesn't extend to the bridge and style approaches so be careful of nettles in the summer , long trousers would be ideal
At the farmhouse turn right up the Lane and the next path is clearly visible on the left .
Enjoy your walk.

08 Jun 2023Overall I found this route to be pretty easy to navigate, though I would imagine it could be easier/harder depending on the growth phase of the crops in the fields that comprise a relatively large section of the route between Stillington and Sedgefield. Although there are a few public footpath signs, there are some places where I had to play 'spot the path', particularly when crossing the fields. The fact that some of this route goes through fields that are ploughed and can be very rough and rutted makes this unsuitable for wheels. I liked the fact that the route stays away from major roads.
The only real negative I have for this route is where it goes through Shotton - there is a very large collection of beehives on the farm that the path runs next to. When I walked the route the bees were very active and their approach route was low and crossed the path and I ended up with several bees accidentally flying into me and getting stuck in my hair, which wasn't fun (though luckily I wasn't stung). If I do this route again in the summer, I'll be taking a detour along to the bridle path to put a bit more distance between the path I'm on and the bees.
