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.

11 Mar 2024The route was easy to walk, with barely any hills. Only thing to note is crossing the NDR as it can be quite busy. Other than that was good.

11 Mar 2024Route was easy to follow. You do have to cross over a very busy road towards the end of the route, so just to be aware of this.

06 Feb 2024Lovely start to the walk in Horsham, however the signage is old and worn away.
Nice to see the horses when walking through the field before arriving on the main road. No crossing at the roundabout to cross Broadland Northway and can be quite busy.
The walk through Old Catton is straight forward.
Good cafe at Waterloo park, good to stop for coffee / lunch / toilets.
Entered Norwich via Magdalan Street, passing Anglia Square.
Beautiful views of the Cathedral and Elm Hill while walking through Tombland.
Plenty of places to stop for food / shopping before arriving at Norwich Train Station.
Easy route to follow.

19 Jul 2023This is a very safe and easy walk into Norwich. It is tarmac paths or closed roads all the way. The first half of the trail runs alongside the NDR and then through countryside to Old Catton. From this point it is residential pathways into the city centre to the train station. The only point to be careful is shortly after the start you need to cross the very busy duel carriageway but there are plenty of opportunities to do so. Accurate map, no access issues and would recommend.

28 Mar 2023Route was very good, walked past some nice sights in Norwich (e.g. the castle and cathedral) with pavements for a lot of the way. When there weren't pavements, the terrain was fine to walk on even though it was a little muddy on a path by the airport. There is one crossing over quite a busy road (the NDR) but we crossed without any issues. Would recommend the Black Swan Inn in Horsham - we had a lovely lunch before walking the route back to Norwich.

11 Jan 2023This is an easy to follow route between Horsham St Faith and Norwich. We walked it from Norwich and it went past the cathedral and through the outskirts of Norwich. There is then a car free route alongside the airport from Old Catton and beside the A road. The crossing of the A1270 is OK as there is an island for pedestrians but it requires some caution. We took a diversion into Catton Park which was lovely and popped into the ancient Saint Margaret's Church. There are refreshments at Horsham St Faith at the Black Swan. Be aware though the buses to and from Horsham are quite infrequent.
