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.

19 May 2024This an excellent route, and I can’t add much to what previous reviewers have said.
I would mention, however, that for anyone wishing to avoid the big climb out of Kinver up to Kinver Edge, you can simply walk from Kinver town centre down to the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal and follow the towpath all the way to Kidderminster. You would rejoin Kidkin1 just before Cookley.
Going this way you obviously don’t get the beautiful views over Kinver Edge, but the scenery along the canal is nevertheless still very attractive and would be an excellent alternative for anyone with mobility issues.

20 Sep 2022An excellent route. A big climb out of Kinver onto Kinver Edge is rewarded with excellent views to the west. An easy-to-follow walk along the edge before dropping down on paths to the canal. A pleasant walk then into Kidderminster along the towpath.

13 May 2022The route is easy to follow, there is a small section along a country lane, other than that it is fields, canal, forest paths.
