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.

05 Apr 2024Another very good Slow Ways Route through lovely countryside.
Leaving Shipston On Stour you follow the Shakespeare Way along the river Stour for a short section before more field paths with great views arriving at Cherington where we leave the Shakespeare Way. The section between Stourton and Wichford needs close attention to your OS map and / or navigation app. Just before arriving in Wichford you go through a lovely woodland path and then on past The Norman Night pub a good place for refreshments. A section of road walking ending in Ascott with field paths taking you in to Hook Norton past the brewery which is worth a visit for food and drinks.
The route was very muddy when i walked as we have had so much rain over the winter months and generally straightforward.

07 Sep 2022We walked this route starting from Hook Norton, and enjoyed it thoroughly.
As you leave the village the footpath passes around the back of the brewery, where we saw their shire horses grazing; they are still used for local beer deliveries. The Victorian brewery is well worth a visit.
The route was mostly on footpaths and occasional bridleways. Roads were used only for passing through villages (which were invariably very quiet) and when arriving in Shipston-on-Stour. There were numerous stiles and kissing gates, some of the latter being so narrow it was necessary to take off our rucksacks to pass through.
Navigation was generally straightforward, though we found the path between Whichford and Stourton difficult to follow. Close attention is required to your OS map and / or navigation app.
We stopped for lunch at the Cherington Arms in Stourton, which we would recommend for its good food and beer.
All in all it was an excellent day’s walk in the beautiful Cotswolds.
