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.

I concur with the first reviewer. I started from the Swansea end and the Gorseinon-Fforestfach stretch starts promisingly but has waymarkers lost is a sea of undergrowth and I lost the path entirely after they disappeared and had to turn back.

May have to leave Swansea along a horrid A road but can soonneasy divert off this to the east and follow more or less parallel quieter road. I would suggest this but then I got to the bit of off road footpath that takes you to Gorseinon which was almost impassable. Boggy and hummocky. Really not a good route. Instead I recommend the Gorseinon-Gowerton and then Gowerton-Swansea route along the Clyne Valley. Cycle track and quiet!.
