Bacup’s six Slow Ways are 29% checked
Help connect Bacup
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 Bacup’s Slow Ways.

The most important comment to make is that an early part of the route marked here (from the edge of Bacup town to the moorland at Reaps Moss) is NOT a public footpath and cannot be accessed (the track to Tong Farm, near the school, where the contour is marked 334 on the map, has a private property sign and leads to a quarry)....
