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 Barnard Castle’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
The 'Sloways' route suggests crossing over here, but if you have the puff, carry on a few hundred meters to visit the beautiful remains of Egglestone Abbey, from where you can carry on along the south bank, or back track to cross the Abbey Bridge and walk the Demesnes ( I always prefer the former, as it saves a bit of time, and the Demesnes fields can be quite muddy)....
