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 Chelford’s Slow Ways.

The part from Holmes Chapel to Goostrey has very little scope to go wrong, after Goostrey and once into woods and across open fields something like OS Maps (GPS based) certainly helps with the navigation....

Walked this route in May 2025 in great weather in the reverse direction (Wilmslow to Chelford)....

The walk is very pleasant and straightforward, very flat and mainly using obvious footpaths....

Fantastic country side walk with very few roads, lovely areas of open fields, sections with woodlands and rivers. At one point, a field gate between Peover and Goostry said beware of the horses, however there weren’t any horses at the time. Potentially something to be aware of....

You are mostly crossing sheep and horse fields, golf courses and following narrow paths between big houses. Enjoyable!...

A pleasant route across farmland, past Peover Hall and through woodland. The route was clear. It was particularly wet before I walked it, so was very boggy in places....
Kabutomushi
Route well recorded, easy to follow, signage pretty good even if you didn't have a map but accuracy pretty much there. Three stiles I think in the whole route, but ground easy and all ways are clear....
Kim Troll
A lovely hilly stroll across fields, down some lanes and a couple of main roads. Ground is decent under foot in sun....
