Connect Adlington with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Adlington to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Adlington’s Slow Ways.

Access was via three steps, a cobbled slope, and an A-frame cycle barrier....
Mary Oz
From Adlington, the route went straight to the canal, where access involved three steps, a cobbled slope, and an A-frame cycle barrier. There was also an aqueduct over Cycle Route 55, currently an unsurfaced former railway line which I think would make another good alternative route for this Slow Way....
Mary Oz
Quiet roads from Chorley towards the canal, only crossing one busier road which wasn't a problem. Towpath surface very walkable and ok for a bike. Quiet and away from traffic, safe, would walk again so 5 stars...
Mr Neil Hartley
There are probably re route options to enable walking this way, but the landowners/farmers shouldn't be allowed to make walking this way so difficult/frustrating for people...
Runtoexplore
I would avoid going through the 'Saw Mill' woods, near Coppull Hall, and just walk along Coppull Hall Lane to Wigan Rd to cross to Sandy Lane....

After you leave the canal (bridge 66) and drop down to cross the river Douglas the footpath is straight ahead as you leave the foot bridge ( ///compelled.webcams.remaining see picture). The Slow Ways route takes you through the farm but the foot path on the OS map takes you to the right of the farm buildings at ///printouts.done.majoring....
Stearsb
The footpaths range from residential, compacted earth, gravel, pasture and minor road without footpath, one of the pasture fields showed evidence of cows. The footpath was walked after a dry spell but some areas looked as though they may get muddy, and the footpath also passes close to a stream that could flood. The motorway is crossed by a road bridge at Bolton West motorway services, care should be taken as there are no footpaths but a wide range of services are available here, even a hotel!...
Stearsb
We walked 6 miles but that was only getting to the half way point of the route and then returning to our start point....
Margaret Small
You will encounter a number of obstacles on the route - stiles, kissing gates, five bared gates and a steep stepped bridge over the railway line....
