Connect Dewsbury with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Dewsbury to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Dewsbury and Batley, Heckmondwike, Mirfield, Ossett, Skelmanthorpe
England / West Yorkshire / Dewsbury
Dewsbury’s five Slow Ways are 35% checked
Help connect Dewsbury
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 Dewsbury’s Slow Ways.

Very nice easy terrain and well sign-posted so easy to follow....

When you turn right away from the river, keep on the footpath to the near side of the grassy storm drain/overflow rather than following the official route across the concrete bridge. Once you are off the road, the stile into the second field is really high and difficult to climb. The route takes you into a field (coloured bright green on the Slow Ways map). The field contained a field of cows plus young calves and a large bull. Perhaps it would have been OK, but we chose to climb over a few strands of barbed wire into the neighbouring field (on the left) before re-joining the route at the end of the field....
