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.

04 Oct 2022I ran the first half of this is route in early October 2022, the second half I have done previously. Completely avoid. Overgrown and under-used. Not passable in wheelchair or by bike.
- Mildenhall to the A11 crossing is fine. Nice clear, well made path.
- A11 crossing is dangerous and hard to do. I had to step over traffic barriers in the middle of a dual carriageway (there's a longer way around, but it's no better as it means walking along the dual carriageway instead).
- A11 to Icklingham is totally overgrown and underused. Roughly 4km of nettles whipping your ankles, and patches with reeds overhanging the path. My legs were still tingling two days later.
- The path at Icklingham through to Lackford Lakes is not clearly marked, so you will need a map or good memory to get through here. The village is all pavements, but next to a busy road. Then you're on fields, which are fine but the Lark Valley Path signs disappear at some point.
- Lackford Lakes to Risby is fine. A nice wide bridleway, no issues.
- Risby to Westley follows busy roads with no pavements, narrow in places so pretty dangerous.
- Westley to Bury is fine - a well made, well used path next to school playing fields, then pavements the rest of the way.
