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.

Latest Updates
Takes advantage of well utilised local cycle paths and makes for a pleasant stroll. Locals clearly already use it as a way of walking between the two villages so already a well established slow way!...
Steven Coombs
