Aveley’s three Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Aveley
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 Aveley’s Slow Ways.

Very enjoyable route onto the cycle route through Mardyke Valley after the road from Aveley....

There are toilets at Tesco Extra in Rainham, the RSPB centre (but no café now) and Aveley Community Hub (off the High Street)....

There are public toilets in Dagenham Library just before the Underground Station....

The icing on the cake was the walking through the marshes east of Rainham and along the River Thames seawall....

This route starts well from Dagenham as it's quickly off the busy roads then into a neighborhood park and then Beam Parklands which is more wild and you can see across the pools and reedbeds from the top of the flood defence banks. From Rainham village centre eastwards it is very straightforward walk along pavements beside relatively busy roads with few turns. The final run, from the roundabout into the village centre, is residential and still busy but not too long at least....

Unfortunately there's another bit of this route which isn't possible to walk, the crossing of the River Beam in Beam Parklands - see screenshot and Strava heatmap. I've found a few other fairly minor changes to improve the route using a small park and avoiding the large road interchange north of Rainham Village centre....

That was annoying but if you know it's coming and/or have a good map or gps it's not a problem to navigate....

Walk this routeLots to like on this route but sadly you are sadly not yet allowed to walk right through Little Belhus Country Park. Once it's all finished the line of this route will probably be a bit off in the SE corner, DagSou 2 gets it just right....

Walk this routeI enjoyed the last bit of this as there was a walk/cycle way behind streets parallel to the gorges....

Highly accurate and a nice walk on the elevated part of the track through Beam Parklands to begin. A lot of roads but they were quiet and all had footpaths. On the approach to Sandy Lane you can stay on the footpath instead of cutting through the field as the map suggests....
