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.

05 Nov 2023This is the most sensible route from Wimborne to Poole. A very nice, nearly all off road route.

16 Sep 2021The route follows the Castleman Trailway for much of the length. This is an old railway line and therefore is flat and easy to walk on, however is slightly muddy in winter. Through Upton country park there is one large farmers gate, and a decent gravel track/path. The route then joins the fully pathed path along the edge of Holes bay to Poole station and town centre. I think this route would not present many access issues, and the vast majority of the route is well away from any motor traffic. The route passes close to Broadstone high street for mid walk refreshments, and there are shops and facilities at either end in Wimbourne Minster and Poole town centre. Bus services are in Wimbourne Minster, Broadstone and Poole, and rail station at Poole.
