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.

06 May 2022This was a very enjoyable route, which I found quite easy to walk - no difficult assents, obstacles or uneven ground. The route takes you through gorgeous and leafy sections of the Devon countryside, and the river Exe is frequent company. Also a great route to get to Stoke woods from Exeter, a journey I had difficulty with in the past. I followed the .GPX route downloaded from this Slow Ways page.
I have given this route a provisional 4 stars as there was a detour that did elicit confusion. Around the Woodrow barton area the route directed the walker along a public byway, but as the photo blow shows there were signs explicitly stating 'no throughway' and 'cows only'. I am confused as not only did the .GPX route indicate this road was accessible, clear public byway signs also indicated this. The detour I had to take added 30 plus minutes, reached a dead end, and I had to navigate across fields I assume I should not have been on. If somebody can explain how I perhaps misread the signs/directions, then the route should be kept at 4 stars, if not, it perhaps should receive a lower rating?

11 Oct 2021A lovely countryside walk, with an excellent safe and mostly traffic free route into and out of Exeter city centre.
