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.

04 Apr 2023 (edited 28 Feb 2023)On review I would say this is an easy, enjoyable walk. As it’s starts from one high street to another, transport links are highly accessible.
The path is a mix on estate streets and public footpaths with a large section being a newly layed path through a park.
Due to the rough surfaces on the footpaths I wouldn’t say it is suitable for wheelchair access. There is a section where we had to go off course as we didn’t want to cross the busy road and there was an underpass only 30m down the road. We then presumed to the route on the other side of the road.
I would recommend this walk, it’s easy to follow and appears to be safe:.

03 Apr 2023 (edited 28 Feb 2023)The route is a quick direct route from Swinton to Eccles. When the route gets you to the East Lancs road A580 a better safer way would be to go under the underpass, which is well lit. The route has street lamps on in the non built up areas and seems reasonably safe. The path in the non urbanised areas is very good. There are no access issues and I would use this route again.
