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.

20 Jun 2021Easy and largely flat apart from the climb up to the bridge at Briton Ferry. No unpaved sections.
Swansea Marina and the loop up around the path to the Park and Ride offer some pretty bridges and a traffic free segments.
Takes a slightly odd detour up to to Amazon roundabout and another through the Bay campus rather than sticking to the main road and there's a lot of time spent on the cycle path that runs parallel to the dual carriageway at the Swansea end which is easy and fast on wheels but mildly unappealing on foot - for this stretch the route offered on the Swanea route along the canal path is nicer for the Port Tenant to Briton Ferry stretch.
The Port Talbot end was surprisingly pleasant - it runs through an industrial estate the 'energy park' but a lot of landscaping has been done and the cyclepath is very often set back from the road by greenery and planting. There's also some nice view of the older part of the docks at Briton Ferry.
