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.

16 Sep 2023September 2023. Direction: Pontprennau to Newport.
A lovely walk linking the Pontprennau suburbs of Cardiff to the city of Newport, mainly through fields, lanes and the open spaces of Tredegar Park fields. Very easy to navigate with well-used footpaths and wellsignposted.

12 Feb 2022This route is fairly easy to navigate: paved paths through parks in Newport and well-marked footpaths. There’s a long stretch of quiet road SW of Bassaleg - I saw more cyclists and horse riders than cars.
In Pontprennau, use the path around the side of B&Q.
