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.

04 Nov 2022Potentially, a lovely long walk, with the Malvern Hills in the distance to orientate yourself the whole way. There are places where routes are unclear, signs are missing or paths are not currently maintained, and we had to ask for directions a couple of times. The first half of this route seems less used and some of the fields to cross have been ploughed over. Much of the walk though is helped by yellow way markers.
Highlights include the views over rolling countryside, a variety of terrains, and stopping about half way at the Red Lion in Storridge.
Low points include: crossing the fast A44 road on a bend out of Bromyard; a half mile section along the B4220 without a pavement; two arable fields without access left for walkers; a fallen tree over a path exit making it currently inaccessible; a private drive with no sign for the public path through their buildings; a couple of wobbly stiles.
The estimated time to complete the walk was about 5 hours. Not including our pub stop, we took 7 hours and clocked up 12 miles.

04 Nov 2022The pictures above:
1. some fields didn't have such a clear path
2. we had to walk around the edge of this freshly ploughed field
3. views looking back as the path starts up the hills
4. on the far side of this bridge, a fallen tree meant we had to find another way
