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.

Report

Route ERROR: In Stourbridge, Old Swinford Hospital is a private gated road. Route should go from top corner of Mary Stevens Park*, cross Heath Lane, public footpath joining top end of Pepper Hill, then Chapel St, Park St, then rejoin New Rd.(Ring Road).
Suggestion: for a little more off-road, from Norton Rd, not Stanley rd but take Beech Rd (has bus stops) & sign posted path across common; cross Stanley rd into Park. In Mary Stevens Park*, go to bandstand & take path that slopes directly up to top corner*.

Report

Generally, a good walk, but needs detail correcting. Version 1 is showing route through private gated road, should be neighbouring r.o.w path and street.
Some choices for the path are debatable and might be improved, e.g. choice between awkward path or more direct minor road.
