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.

31 Dec 2023A fairly straightforward route. Although it uses footpaths, it is mostly a road walk.
Walked in reverse from Golborne to Newton-le-Willows. From the small square in the centre of Golborne, we take a few roads before joining a tarmac footpath that runs along the fence of a school. It eventually becomes earthern, and, once over a footbridge, it runs alongside a brook, and can be muddy in places.
The footpath joins a residential road, and from here, it's pavements all the way. There's a busy crossroads to negotiate, where there is a crossing, but you do have to time it right. The road ahead is shaded by trees, and can be covered in wet leaves in autumn and winter.
Once under the motorway bridge, the road emerges into Newton-le-Willows, passing the church and a couple of pubs before ending (or starting) at the station.
A mostly accessible walk, although the footpaths in Golborne may be too narrow, and muddy, for wheelchairs.
Both ends are well-served by public transport and shops.
