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.

20 Jun 2022Quiet lanes from Ringwood Centre cross the High Street and lead to Bickerley Greeen and the entrance to the Castleman trailway (pic1)
Turning left (pic2) a wide, mainly gravel, track leads West before reaching the end of this section (pic3). Cross under the A31 bridge before entering the next Castleman trailway on the LHS, becoming an even wider section (pic4). Warning posts ahead indicate a very minor road crossing (pic5). The next section curves slowly to the left before we find the entrance to Moors Valley Country Park on the RHS (pic6). See https://moors-valley.co.uk/ for full details as there are several trails in this area, mainly gravel but some sandy parts with tree roots (pic7), and coloured routes marked with poles (pic8) and finger posts (pic9). Be aware of other users in the Country park, especially bicycles.
At this point I deviated from the route proposed by "Verrin one" and went via the Visitor Centre (cafe, shop, information, toilets.etc.)
and then towards Potterne Park. This meant you spend longer amongst the trees and paths and less alongside busy roads.
Leaving the Visitor Centre towards the Moors Valley Railway (pic10)
you walk on tarmac paths alongside the lake(pic11). This continues beside the golf course (pic12) and is well marked (pic13). At Potterne Park head Right, away from the clubhouse, and towards the exit among the trees (pic14). This leads onto a series of footpaths directly opposite each one (1st indicated in pic15) before entering Moneyfly Road (wide gravel surface). This leads on to the main Ringwood to Verwood road and you turn left. You pass a Co-operative shop and then a LIDL shop, both on LHS, before arriving at Verwood centre,
Overall distance 10.4km. Ascent 59m, Descent 28m.
