Connect Dunbar with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks

Dunbar’s four Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Dunbar
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 Dunbar’s Slow Ways.

Just a gorgeous, easy route following the John Muir Way with lovely varied scenery. Full marks!...
Andrew Davies
An excellent walk, although I agree that it should be split into two or more segments, with a break at Cockburnspath....
Andrew Davies
Muddy in places, but it was winter, and nothing good walking shoes won't cope with....
Dales Pearce
Generally, the walk between Dunbar and Cockburnspath is pretty flat, but the remainder, between Cockburnspath and Eyemouth includes regular ups and downs, and is the prettier part of the route....
Nick Grain
Quite a dramatic approach to Dunbar along the edge of the golf course, well worth it....
Doug Bridgens
Because this Slow Ways route is so long (26 miles) and it follows the Berwickshire Coastal Path alignment, I recommend splitting the route at Cockburnspath so there are two Slow Ways routes: Eyemouth to Cockburnspath and Cockburnspath to Dunbar....

The section past the Tyne estuary is beautiful with plenty of bird life and a section past the woods at Hedderwick past the family farm....
SlowAl
Lovely flat walk, through fields/countryside, along riversides, and then beach and forest!...
Donal OS
We walked the section from Dunbar as far as Cove (near Cockburnspath.) The walk is beautiful but has one big issue - the chunk at the beginning of the route that skirts around the edge of the golf course is stressful!!...
rachgriff
On the walk you pass through farmland, woodlands, estuary and the town of Dunbar itself - making for a really interesting and varied route. Look out for the emus and llamas and other creatures as you pass along the back of East Links Family Park!...

I've walked from Dunbar to Thorntonloch beach and then from Pease Bay to Siccar Point. My intention is to finish it off in segments....
