Description
This is a longer route than 1 and 2, but with less road. It takes advantage of the Arboretum, the canal and Cuckoo's Nook (part of the Beacon Way) to avoid the roads, but for the last few kilometres some road is unavoidable. There are several short flights of steps mainly through Cuckoo's Nook, so would be unsuitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. I did the walk in December 2022, and it was quite muddy, especially on the shortest path through the Arboretum. There is a better path further south through the Arboretum, joining the canal further south, which would make the route slightly longer

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.

15 Mar 2024This is a longer route than Walsstr one & two, but has less pavement walking.
Starting from Walsall you go through the enjoyable Arboretum which was very muddy at my time of walking so i had to take the path to the South joining the canal path before reaching the Beacon Way at Rushall locks.
This takes through the very nice Hayhead Wood with benches to have a rest and birdwatch before going on field paths and then pavement walking passing the Foley Arms for refreshment ending in Streetly.
There are several short flights of steps so would be unsuitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
Overall a good slowways route.
