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.

22 Nov 2022We walked this wonderful route with the @Muslim.Hikers and had a wonderful time, saw a space centre, beautiful bridges, a lovely park, the autumnal sunshine and lots of soothing water ways. There were forms of pathways for the majority of the route, comfy walking boots or trainers recommended. Toilet at the starting point and also at the finish. the walk through town was great for grabbing a much needed coffee.

12 Nov 2022I enjoyed the route. I found it easy to follow. Was safe and with plenty of Riverside and lakeside paths. Much of it on tarmac.

15 May 2021Much of this walk is lovely, through Abbey Park and Watermead. There are a couple of places I wouldn't feel safe walking as a woman on my own, an under pass near Abbey Park (although you can choose to cross the dual carriageway instead) and a long, very isolated and industrial path along the marina, but it would be possible to avoid this by going through Birstall instead.
During wet weather the route would be muddy and liable to flooding.
Lots of nice places in Watermead to stop and have a picnic next to the water. There were some toilets in Watermead but they were closed and there were coffee and icecream vans in the car park. You pass a cafe in Abbey Park towards the beginning of the route and a Shell garage once you get in to Syston.
We walked on a Saturday lunchtime. Abbey Park was relatively busy with dog walkers but the rest of the walk was pretty quiet.
