Help connect Castleford

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 Castleford’s Slow Ways.

Leaving the river path at the first bridge is best if you fancy a brew on the way because there are two cafes nearby, the Green House and Rivers Meet....

Good, mostly tarmac route through Pontefract Park. The roads at Glasshoughton can be busy but there are crossings. No real alternative to Glasshoughton....
