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.

Pleasant walk mainly along canal towpaths and quiet roads. Current version of the route route goes under the railway bridge after Woodlesford Marina to meet the A639 then turns off on Station Road to Methley. This isn’t the best route for this section because the path under the railway bridge is frequently flooded. Instead, continue along the path on the south bank of the River Aire then turn off right to meet Station Road after the first footbridge or a little further on where the path comes closest to Station Road. Leaving the river path at the first bridge is best if you fancy a brew on the way because there are two cafes nearby, the Green House and Rivers Meet. Green House is outdoors only, Rivers Meet has inside tables too.
