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.

17 Nov 2021We walked this route from the Railway Station having caught the train to Bromsgrove rather than starting from Bromsgrove Centre. Footpath appeared to have recently been signposted so easy to follow at the start. From Stoke Pound it follows the scenic Birmingham to Worcester canal. It was less well signposted once we left the canal at Astwood and one of the styles by the foot bridge was in disrepair so we had to use a field gate lower down. Main issue with this route is that you are unable to cross the M5 where the Slow Ways route shows this. We took a footpath shortly before this up to Rashwood Farm which involves crossing over the single track Droitwich to Bromsgrove railway line and then through the M5 underpass just before reaching the farm. You then follow the John Corbett Way which is very well signposted to the Chateau Impney hotel and then crossing the railway bridge to bring us back onto the Slow ways route into Droitwich.
This is a route I would do gain but with the amendments we made. Relatively easy walking mostly level, lovely views from the footpaths / canal which had several flights of locks. We passed 3 pubs which would be useful if you wanted to stop for refreshments or food enroute.
