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.

15 Sep 2022This was such a nice bite-sized Slow Way that it made me daydream about living in Hertford just so I could get a job in Ware and do this as my daily commute. It was all along really lovely bits and pieces of river, crossing the River Beane, then the River Rib, then along the River Lea and then the River Lea Navigation. Lots of lovely riverside boathouses to look at, and spots to hop in if you fancied a swim. I did, it was muggy, but I was a bit too shy to hop in in my pants since I was walking with colleagues! Next time though, and we saw a couple of women swimming with their stuff in a floating drybag, so I wonder if you could swim this whole Slow Way.

14 Sep 2022This is a lovely route between Hertford and Ware, it's longer than the other routes but the river walk and views are lovely. It's car free (apart from the last bit along Ware high street) and quite fun to walk under the bridge with A414 roaring overhead. There are som styles and narrow gates though so it might not be the best route for everybody.

10 Feb 2022There are faster routes but this for most of the route avoids the NCN61 which runs down the south side of the river. Overall I prefer this walk when I have the time.
