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.

07 Aug 2024Love this walk, it is a bit uneven and goes through rough terrain, you couldn't do this in a wheel chair for example. Lovely walk though with great views and a mix of great scenery. You can get a ferry in to Falmouth or simply stop at Flushing.

07 Jun 2023Great walk! Walk is accurate with good waymarks, easy to follow along the river, and it’s an interesting route.
Public transport options: I got to the start of the walk by train to Penryn station; you could then get the train back from Falmouth Town or Penmere stations. You can also reach Penryn and Falmouth by bus.

19 May 2023Really lovely walk from Flushing to Penryn. Can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t be 5 stars. Brilliant.
The ferry from Falmouth is cheap and regular, but the last one is at 5 o’clock, so the alternative route along roads is definitely required.

17 May 2023Excellent short walk with beautiful scenery echoing much of what has been written in the previous two reviews. The only update is that as of May 2023 the fare for the Flushing Ferry is £4.

30 May 2022Lovely short walk on the north side of the river Penryn to Flushing, where you can catch a ferry to Falmouth (£3.50 in May 2022). Plenty of public transport options back to the start point.

07 Jan 2022This is an attractive and interesting walk along the north side of the Penryn river with views of the river and Falmouth town.
It is not suitable for bikes or wheelchairs.
The path is narrow and muddy in places, there are stiles, gates and steps on the route.
The main route goes on a walkway through a reed bed and across a beach. At high tide these may not be passable but alternative route sections are available.
In the village of Flushing there are two pubs and a general store.
The Flushing Ferry runs 7 days a week, hourly in the winter and every 30 minutes in the summer until 4pm winter/ 5pm summer.
