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 Colesbourne’s Slow Ways.

Cheltenham—Colesbourne

I walked it South to North, from Colesbourne to Cheltenham, and while I imagine a few parts would be a bit steep in the other direction, it skirts around the edge of Leckhampton hill so avoids any truly drastic slopes. If you’re walking from Cheltenham, you can park at Royal Well Car Park, a very short distance Southwest of the starting route: ///planet.passes.button....

Minor tweak: The footpath bridge over the former railway line near Sandy Lane is closed (no date for reopening), so a mild (5-minute?) detour is needed -- where the bridge is blocked off, follow the turn to the left to Sandy Lane, then walk up Sandy Lane and turn right to enter the park, where you can rejoin the route through the corner of the park. Very pleasant walk from the centre of Cheltenham to Colesbourne, finishing neatly at the Colesbourne Inn. A good mix of town, hill and fields and beech avenues, with interesting views and landmarks (particularly the Round House at Pinswell)....
