Description
Via Cranford Lane, Cranford Park, the Paddington Arm of the GU Canal, and Southall Broadway.
I made this route in response to Harsou One, which I felt was poorly drawn and could be more pleasantly overall.
Leave Southall along the Broadway, with its Indian shops selling clothes, and food, and shiny furnishing accessories. Then the Grand Union Canal towpath - this is the posh Paddington arm of the canal and the towpath is in decent condition.
The canal eventually merges with the Grand Union main line, and then the route climbs up a long pedestrian/cycle ramp to a very busy road called the Parkway, which at least serves to connect to Cranford Park. This marvellous green space so close to Heathrow airport is one of London's surprise secrets!
Cross the park, and the M4, and then walk along Cranford Lane to Harlington. Cranford Lane is a long straight back road, which is relatively quiet compared with the juggernauts of the massive A roads, motorways and bypasses which serve Heathrow.
A really pleasant walk linking the busy west London area of Southall with the first of several Heathrow satellite villages which still retain their individual nature

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.
