Description
This alternative Sowhal route was suggested by a colleague who lives near Sowerby Bridge and frequently chooses this way to walk into Halifax for work and other purposes.
In following roads out of Sowerby Bridge to begin with, this route avoids the very steep climb up Washer Lane taken by Sowhal1. After crossing Crow Wood park it also avoids busy King Cross and takes a very nice route instead from the Wainhouse Tower via Savile Park and along tree lined streets and cobbled footpaths into Halifax

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.
