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.

29 Mar 2022 (edited 11 Nov 2023)This route follows the metalled 492 national cycle route from the centre of Brynmawr for most of the way to Blaenavon, so it`s easy walking, although there are some undulations along the way. It follows the old railway line up to the point where it meets the Blaenavon Heritage Railway, which the path then runs parallel to as it nears Blaenavon. This is industrial heritage land, with evidence all around of the area`s history. The Garn-yr-Erw lakes adds a nice stretch of variety along the way. There are a couple of pubs in the middle section, but check the afternoon opening times if you`re planning a stop-off.
