Slow Ways linking Blyth and Bedlington, Cramlington, Newbiggin-By-The-Sea, Seaton Delaval, Stakeford, Whitley Bay

Blyth’s six Slow Ways are 38% checked
Help connect Blyth
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 Blyth’s Slow Ways.
