Description
(Described in the East-West direction from Mulbarton to Wymondham.) This route uses a more northerly way out of Mulbarton (compared to routes 1-3) from the Co-op store to go through Bracon Ash and Hethel and past the 700-year old Hethel Thorn. The 100m stretch alongside the main road at Hethel Engineering has a wide, safe verge and there are benches in the grounds of the engineering centre that would make for a pleasant pause if needed. Long's Wood, SW of Fir Grove, offers a multitude of permissive paths to reach Wymondham Road, including two sets of steep but well maintained steps into and out of an old railway cutting. Farm tracks and field paths from Old Rectory Lane are more pleasant and interesting than the road to the north, although the road is quiet if you prefer a hard surface. From Silfield, quiet lanes and a footbridge over the A11 take you to the Lizard, a Trust-maintained open space leading into Wymondham and its multitude of shops and cafes

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.
