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.

08 Oct 2022A safe, direct and very easy route to follow. The majority of it is off road although there is a section south of Haunton which follows a lane for miles. The lane is quiet, has good sight lines, an open verge and when I walked it, was more popular with cyclists than motorists.
There are definitely more places to stop at the Swadlincote end with pubs and shops in Netherseal and Overseal. There are also copious benches in the Derbyshire section of the walk. There are bus stops throughout the walk from Swadlincote to Netherseal and then also in Clifton Campville. There are stiles and the route gets quite boggy in parts, I'd recommend wearing boots. Overall the walk is quite varied and there are great views across four counties as well as opportunities to see wildlife. A superb slow way!.
