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.

23 Feb 2023A good walk through the countryside around east Flintshire, avoiding unpaved roads and footpaths of questionable nature.
From Flint station, through the paved residential roads and, shortly after starting, into the countryside. Footpaths run through fields and along their boundaries. Just past a cottage, the marked footpath has been closed, but the wooded track that runs to Mynnydd Y Fflint/Flint Mountain is a pleasant a shady one, albeit muddy in places.
From the small hamlet, paved apart from a short section (but a quiet dead end), we are once more through fields. A short unpaved section, and, once more, many fields and tracks to the crossroads just outside Northop Hall, where we have a crossing and another unpaved road, but only for a few yards. More fields, then around a sports field into woods, then along paved roads through the village itself.
A short footpath takes us away from an uphill unpaved stretch of road to a paved one, which we follow before taking the footpath into, and through, Wepre Park, a wooded country park with good paths, and also Ewloe Castle. Out of the park, and it's a couple of short walks along roads to Shotton station.
A nice walk through fields and along rural tracks. Unpaved roads are kept to a bare minimum, with only yards to negotiate. The terrain and use of many stiles make this a foot-only route, however. Rail and bus stops and shops at both ends, and a café in Wepre Park.
