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.

As other reviewers have said this is an easy and undemanding route, with excellent public transport links at either end. It is quite heavily wooded which means it doesn't have great views in spring and summer, but that doesn't really detract from it. Nice piece of public art by local artist Chris Cyprus at the start too. (See photo) Richly deserves its snail!.

A pleasant low level route which drops down the main road from Mossley station to Bottoms and then follows a former railway line (route of the Tame Valley Way and Pennine Bridleway) through to Uppermill. Views of the valley through the trees on a nice day in January but probably few views in the summer when the trees are in leaf.

Report

The River Tame valley has several transport routes running along it, close together, old and new, and this route is almost entirely along the disused railway line. It is just a few hundred metres from Mossley Station (still in use) to the beautifully restored Micklehurst Station on the completely separate, but parallel line.
Mostly, it is obvious this route is an old railway line, but there are a few puzzling slopes, and there are several road crossings where the ground has been completely reprofiled. Despite there being no hard surfacing, it has not turned into a mud bath. It is lined with woods most of the way, with nice glimpses through to the river and canal.
A very straightforward and pleasant route.
