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.

Report

September 2022. Direction: Tonypandy to Tonyrefail.

It`s a long hall up Amos Hill and Mountain road from Penycraig and then a long walk through the long street of Edmondstown, but the reward is a lovely walk through the meadows and oak tree copses leading down into Tonyrefail. The off-road path is easy to follow, grassy at first and then gravel later, although it was a bit muddy in parts down around the stream area. Probably not one for wheelchairs as there are kissing gates and a stepped bridge crossing the stream along the way.
