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.

The walk started well but by the time you get to Goonhilly Downs it’s impassable. Although it is common land and can be accessed there is no clear way across as the gpx file that maps on OS maps is a straight line. You could walk in a straight line if willing to trample across and through gorse and heather and climb locked gates. Not a recommended route and the alternative Helston to Coverack route also crosses the Downs. Alternative is along the very busy B3293 which is also not recommended!.
