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.

Hannah
20 Aug 2023Enjoyed this route through the orchards and hayfields of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. Made use of bits of the Daffodil Way, Poets' Way, Geopark Way, along a disused canal, angling lakes, and not much in the way of road walking. In August there were a lot of ploughed or harvested fields to bash across, which at different stages of the growing cycle might be harder to traverse and mean along lumpy field-edge walk.

18 Aug 2023 (edited 20 Aug 2023)Generally pretty, interesting enough for the area, mostly fields, handful of quiet lanes, woodland and canal. If you a getting tired of walking through crop fields, at Dymock you can stay on the road past the pub (Ledbury side), East you can walk along the pavement and road past the cricket club. Six of one half dozen of the other there.

22 Sep 2022 (edited 23 Sep 2022)Nic Howes' alternative to Lednew one, avoiding Three Shires Garden Centre and its associated walk alongside a busy road.
Lednew two departs from Lednew one after Hillend Green, turning right to pass Hill View Farm to reach Wisteria Villa on the left. Photo 1 shows a clear fingerpost aiming at a side gate to Wisteria Villa marked "Beware of the Dog"; the Geopark Way PROW definitely goes through the otherwise unmarked side gate and then leaves the curtilage of Wisteria Villa via a properly waymarked exit. I encountered no dogs here; some local authorities have online pages saying that putting up a "Beware of the Dog" sign like this is illegal if untrue, so it may be best to prepare yourself to "beware".
On leaving Wisteria Villa the Geopark Way crosses above the line of the Oxenhall canal tunnel and enters a large orchard (Photo 2). From the higher ground ahead there are fine views of the distinctive summit of May Hill (Photo 3), with its plantation of trees that are said to number "no more than 99"; a detailed analysis of the summit trees appears here: http://notabletrees.blogspot.com
Lednew two merges with Lednew one where the Geopark Way meets a surfaced lane on a sharp bend in the latter.
