Daventry’s six Slow Ways are 29% checked
Help connect Daventry
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 Daventry’s Slow Ways.

Navigation straightforward, and the road walking is either on a v quiet road, or a road with a pavement. The paths across fields are well defined, and although there are a few stiles the only problem is the gate (illustrated by the first reviewer) leading into the field immediately before the A5 - the gate is iron and heavy and has to be lifted as it is not hinged to the gatepost. The toilets in Long Buckby are closed "due to vandalism" but there are toilets and a cafe at Daventry Country Park....
KB
The road walking between the M1 and the footpath to Welton is none too pleasant, especially crossing the A5; there is a pavement alongside the road between Welton and Daventry. Once on the footpath, the second field is quite swampy, but easily negotiated. A very short detour on entering Daventry Country Park accesses toilets and a cafe....
KB
Issues to note include some narrow footbridges, potentially muddy sections, long grass and the need to cross the busy A5 road and walk along its verge for 50 feet or so. The back road into West Haddon is narrow but ok to walk along....
