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.

11 Aug 2023Walked in reverse Wolverhampton Train station to Wrightwick. Navigation easy and straightforward. Distance is correct just under 4miles.
Ends at number 9 bus stop/ Mermaid Pub/ Wrightwick Manor- National Trust or other end Wolverhampton train station and next to the bus station.
Pleasant and quiet mostly away from traffic. Where main roads were used there was pavement and pedestrian crossings. Through city centre, West Park, nature reserve and along canal.
There were steps or ramps on urban bits but there is one small kissing gate (pictured) entrance to nature reserve which would be difficult with a bike and impassable in a wheelchair likewise I think this was easy to walk but is well walked soil paths which are narrow in places so would need an off road bike, not very technical but not all tarmac. The canal was a good width path and smooth gravel. This is much shorter than route would be by road and very pleasant.

28 Jun 2023A safe, varied and fairly direct Slow Way. Makes use of green spaces and wide pavements. A bit fussy direction wise, so not so easy to follow without keeping a map or phone in hand. Kissing gates but no steps or stiles, so quite accessible.
