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.

There are some issues with this route from Somerton to Ilchester. It’s not possible to follow the footpath in a number of places because it’s completely overgrown without signs & in a one place goes through private ground with a large pond.
A revised route map will be posted ASAP to avoid these issues.
It’s an on foot only route as there are stiles & steps. There are also some gates which are broken making climbing over quite tricky. Otherwise it’s a pleasant mainly off road walk through fields, tracks & by water ways.

A pleasant level route except the middle third was difficult to follow as the path disappeared completely into a mill-pond, one gate was misplaced, there was an un-signposted section that would have taken us through a field of heifers and we had to scramble over some heaps of hard-core and rubble blocking the path. However we worked around these problems without too much difficulty. I’ll suggest the re-route we did as a variation. One pub en-route and a good selection of pubs/cafes in Ilchester.
