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.

Report

Even if it's the shortest route it's quite dangerous for long stretches along Holmhill Lane and Chester Low Road. Fast traffic and no pavement. The rest of the route feels urban and residential. I would never walk it again. Always choose Durche 1!.
