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.

02 Dec 2023December 2023. Direction: Colwinston to Bridgend.
A pleasant walk firstly through country lanes from Colwinston, then the middle section through fields around the Ewenny Priory estate, before entering the outskirts of Bridgend for the last leg. There are several styles and gates on the middle section. The land around the route is intensive agriculture most of the way, but there are some nice views over the Ewenny Valley and Bridgend after leaving the lanes and descending down through the fields. It may be worth taking a small detour for a couple of hundred metres to look at the church, but the priory itself is private land.

03 Oct 2021This route is fine - easy to navigate with no significant access issues. Leaving Bridgend it took some concentration to cross the A48, even on a Sunday morning, and there were a few stone slabs instead of stiles - but overall, it’s a good route.
