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.

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.
