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.

16 Oct 2023Overall a fairly functional way of getting from Wimborne to Bournemouth.
The route mainly follows the Stour Valley Way from Wimborne to the outskirts of Bournemouth. It then follows main/busy roads through to Bournemouth Square and finishes at the seafront. I suspect a more scenic route is possible through the urban parts of Bournemouth.
Be careful when following the path near Canford School, keep your eyes out for the Stour Valley Way sign, the more predominant permitted footpath takes you away from the route.
Top tips: Keating's Butchers near the start does a cracking pork pie. South Coast Coffee near the end does a great coffee and millionaire shortbread!.
