Help connect Cricklade
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 Cricklade’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeThe railway bed section from Farfield Lane to South Meadow Lane is NOT a ROW, it is shown on OS map as a Permissive path, but the owner has currently closed that section to extend the length of the railway line....

Fairly easy to follow route involving the towpath of the old Thames and Severn canal for a lot of the section from Cirencester to South Cerney....

An excellent Slow Way which mostly follows the upper Thames to the start of the navigable river. The route follows the river past the Roundhouse (Photo 8), which marks the start of the Thames towpath....

The start of the route was easy to find in Cricklade and the first 1.4km were very pleasant along a disused railway. Unfortunately, the second half of this section has been fenced off as new tracks are being laid to extend the Swindon and Cricklade railway (a permissive path alongside is promised). I ended up on a tarmac path for the last bit through the Country Park before we went under the Cricklade and Swindon railway bridge and found ourselves briefly in Swindon suburbia. The route then followed another section of disused railway for quite a long stretch and again was also the 45 National Cycle Route. We emerged to the west of the mainline station at Swindon and headed through the shopping area to find the Library and Information Centre. It may be worth checking if there is a permissive path along the Cricklade and Swindon railway sections that have already been laid....

Malmesbury has just about the perfect start to a Slow Ways walk, from the Town Hall which has public toilets and a great little coffee shop, and where all the local buses start and stop. You need to park at the long-stay 'Railway Station Car Park' and walk back up, past The Abbey, to the Town Hall....
