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.

17 Jul 2023I didn't walk the whole of this route since I was coming from Mickleton so I joined at Long Marston for the very pleasant "Greenway" heading north to Stratford. A very easy, safe and convenient route, suitable for all (wheels included). I would only add to the previous review that the two railway carriage cafes are open in summer and are both excellent - I just had to stop to try them both out! When entering Stratford it might be even more pleasant to continue along the path to the river and enter the old town under the road bridge.

05 Mar 2023We took this decent 10mile walk northwards from Honeybourne today. A good walk which we split by taking a little detour half way at Long Marston to the Mason's Arms pub for Sunday lunch. Definitely a walk of two halves, with the section from Long Marston being the most straightforward as it takes you along the old dismantled railway line all the way into Stratford.
The section to Long Marston has a completely different character taking you across fields and farms. There was a little section on the walk today after leaving Broad Marston and before the road at Long Marston which didn't have any footpath signage and where which I was grateful to have GPS on the OS Maps app. Indeed, a couple of sections felt like the footpath wasn't being used that often and I did wonder whether some sections would be more overgrown in the summer. One section which has a new fence didn't seem to have any stile attached. It wasn't difficult for us to get over, but I did wonder whether it was only because it was a new fence that it didn't have any markings or stile attached. I guess time will tell. This fence is visible in my photos below, but unfortunately Slow Ways has changed the photo upload tool so I can't reference it other than saying it's the newest looking fence photo.
The greenway or dismantled railway has an old Carriage Cafe at Milcote which unfortunately wasn't open in the Winter, and there was also another old railway carriage hiring bicycles at the Stratford end of the greenway. Overall a good walk and one I would recommend with the caveat of perhaps taking a map app with GPS on to follow the correct route where I mention above. Plenty of stiles, gates and footbridges on the route, with some in better condition than others.
