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.

15 Jul 2021A really nice scenic route along well-defined footpaths that largely avoids main roads. Parts of the path could get muddy at times and there is a long flight of steep steps at one point along the River Almond, although it is mostly flat, easy walking. I deviated slightly through the Dalmeny Estate (I didn't check the route properly and followed the John Muir Way instead) and again at the end to walk to go along South Queensferry High Street to access the facilities there. A great route if you fancy a longish walk that's not too challenging and also a practical way to get from Leith to South Queensferry (in daylight).

27 Apr 2021A great walk mainly along tarmac paths including the costal walk along the shore leading up to Crammond.
Be aware that after this (along the eastern side of the river Almond) the path becomes rough and includes a set of steep steps. These can be avoided if you follow Whitehouse Road.

26 Apr 2021This is a beautiful scenic track taking you from Barnton, through the Dalmeny estate and onto S. Queensferry. The paths vary between tarmac and gravel/sand, and these bits tend to be a bit rougher with more potholes. If you are cycling, road bikes can do it but you might worry about thin tyres. It may be possible to push a wheelchair but it might be a little tricky. There are some cheeky ascents at various points along the route.
