Help connect Brandon

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 Brandon’s Slow Ways.

it's a nice walk, but leaving thetford the route takes you a long a single track (and muddy in our case) route along the river bank....

This is a really nice wooded walk and route and I would repeat it and plan to. This is not a good route for anything other than a walker/runner though as there are some narrow riverside paths - some quite sloppy - hence the four star review. However, the narrow paths along the river follow this so it's not worth altering the route. On the riverside route are a few smaller trees across the path but only a minor step over but a bike would have to stop....

From Hockwold to Lakenheath and then Sedge Fen to Lakenheath, the path is on dangerous roads. While it is straightforward to follow, it is not safe. I would not recommend this route....
