Prestonpans’s three Slow Ways are 67% checked
Help connect Prestonpans
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 Prestonpans’s Slow Ways.

A nice bracing walk along the coast with some excellent wildlife viewing....

Looking at the GPX points, it looks like the route file could be improved by making a specific route point at the top of this path, and then route along New Row....

A nice route, particularly picturesque as you approach Prestonpans....

Walked this as the sun was setting, so it was quite atmospheric! Too short to say much about....

This is a route with pretty views and must be one of the shortest Slow Ways ones. There is a path by the shore that can be followed with various alleys leading down to it. Avoid it at high tide and particularly when there are strong winds from the east....

Walk this routeThe part from the Morrison's Haven car park to Prestonpans is very pleasant....
grussell
A pleasant straightforward route between Musselburgh and Prestonpans that largely avoids roads and is flat and easy to walk. A small section of the footpath (that runs parallel to the B1348 and is part of the John Muir Way) is quite narrow and was a little overgrown when I went, so may not be suitable for ‘wheelers’ but presents no difficulties to walkers. It would be possible to walk alongside the road instead....

I then looped back to get onto Bridge Street and the suggested route, but it would probably make more sense to enter Tranent via New Row instead....
