Bedale’s five Slow Ways are 30% checked
Help connect Bedale
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 Bedale’s Slow Ways.

The original route would have taken us onto this road for a shorter walk before joining field tracks. Field walking resumes on the far side of the bridge and the route crosses a farmed field. From here there is field walking to the outskirts of Scruton Village. Following a walk along paths to the edge Scruton, the route takes you through a field of cows (not inquisitive at all) and through a very short overgrown section before joining the lane. Back on field walking we followed the edge of a field as there was no discernible path across the planted field....

Walked this route yesterday with my walking Pal, just a few days after Storm Babet called by - needless to say there was a LOT of standing water about! We crossed the railway line and then entered Romanby Golf Course - where the path we wanted was clearly in sight over the river Wiske. At the end of the lane we walked into Morton on Swale and through the village on excellent footpaths until we crossed over Morton Bridge and the river Swale. We opted this time to walk around the perimeter of this field on the grassed river defence and it took us exactly to where we needed to be alongside the farm, Alternatively here you could also have just walked a little further along the road after having crossed the Swale and walked up the access road to Morton Flatts Farm and be back on track too. We then walked through a housing estate before we found a delightful leafy track that took us all the way into Bedale, meeting the main road almost at the railway crossing for the Wensleydale Railway - we had crossed this line a couple of times already on our travels....
