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.

04 Jul 2022Good, direct and easily navigable route.(though see brief note below for clarification). Deserves its place in the network.Plenty of hill climbing and descent and it is a mixture of rural and urban/suburban, so has quite a workaday feel at times and some pounding of pavements, but nice views around, particularly at the Bath end, and a lovely descent into town through Bear Flat, overlooking the city centre.
Just note that if coming from Radstock towards Bath, that the plot is a tad unhelpful when you regain the Fosse Way after crossing the main road at Dunkerton. The way in is opposite the bus stop.

27 Feb 2022A great route from Radstock to Bath. The route is easy to follow - I had no navigation issues. The section from Radstock to Peasedown is along roads, tracks and well marked footpaths. The walk through Peasedown is street walking, mostly on pavements. The climb out of Dunkerton on the Fosse Way is quite steep and long, but this is unavoidable to achieve a reasonably direct route - and as the previous reviewer said, the views across Combe Haye when you get to the Bath end are stunning, so the climb is well worth it. The route chosen down into Bath is also a good one - easy street walking, revealing glimpses of stunning vistas of Bath, and envy inspiring houses. All in all, an excellent walk, definitely worthy of its place as a Slow Way.

17 Jan 2022I enjoyed this walk in spite of the Fosse Way being quite muddy in sections and the very steep hill from Dunkerton. Excellent views over Combe Hay from path behind waste disposal works. The route is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs. Busy main road to cross in Dunkerton. Several gates to negotiate. Shops in Peasedown (where I started the route) and Bath centre.
