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.

28 Mar 2022I have rated it low because, as it stands, it is not walkable, as there is an error in the mapping after Haughmond Hill where the Shropshire Way now goes to the North West of a small reservoir, not South East.
Also the route beyond Wellington does not take advantage of ways to leave the very busy "old A5" /Holyhead Road/Watling Street/B5061. I have corrected the error and made other suggestions, but still keeping largely this route, at ShrTel4.

28 Mar 2022Note: from just beyond Wrockwardine it is cyclable and suitable for buggies, before that it is not. There is a cycle path taking largely this route from Shrewsbury to Uffington but it is not cyclable between there and Wrockwardine, except for short stretches.
