Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Airdrie’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeReview of Slow Ways Route Airhol 1 (Airdrie to Holytown). The route starts at Airdrie Train Station and zig-zags uphill through residential streets before eventually turning onto a wide and well-surfaced cycle track. The next section is the least enjoyable of the route as it follows this and another main road (Bo’ness Road) through a series of roundabouts to the edge of Holytown. Keeping to the route would have required a steep descent down a grassy bank to the playing field below so is therefore probably best avoided....
wellchoughed
Combination of path/road/off road paths. Not too many climbs...
Stirrae
Would not recommend for sole walking as away from population but good underfoot and not too hilly...
