Description
PerBri1 follows the most direct route between Perth and Bridge of Earn, following the main road between the two settlements, and is therefore a noisy route along hard surfaces, with lots of traffic. It is a cycle route, with dropped curbs where necessary, and would be feasible for a wheelchair. This route which I have proposed, PerBri2, is much less direct, but uses side roads, minor roads and footpaths, so is predominantly free from major road noise. It follows the River Tay downstream through Friarton Industrial Estate, and along a new private road not shown on OS maps. It then climbs to Moncrieffe Hill, which is managed by the Woodland Trust, and uses paths shown on the WT leaflet (downloadable), before heading into Bridge of Earn mainly on a minor road. Views from the top of Moncrieffe Hill, (just off route) are extensive

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.
