Description
Correction to original route to correct inaccuracies. First, there is no direct access from Ince station to Laburnum Avenue. Second, the route across Ince Moss on the original route (and on OS map) does not bear any resemblance to what is on the ground, so that has been redrawn

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.

27 Feb 2023.A nice, short route through a nice wooded area between two urban area.
Ince does not have any shops, but it does have a station and nearby bus stops. After negotiating the residential roads, the route becomes an earthern footpath through woods, following the triangular shape of the railway and a former junction. Past s small industrial estate, we enter the woods of Ince Moss, which is muddy in places, but with the odd boardwalk.
Once through the woods, we meet metalled paths with loose stone, which take us across the Moss. Eventually we get to another old railway embankment where we take another footpath. This is often like walking in a stream in places. It soon becomes a footpath and, once past a barrier, we reach the road. Under what remains of the railway viaduct, we meet the end: a handful of bus stops with nearby shops.
Due to the terrain, often muddy in places, and with the odd stile and pinch gap, I'd recommend this route as foot-only.
