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 East Horsley’s Slow Ways.

Guildford to East Horsley. The next section between Merrow and East Clandon is most enjoyable, mostly next to golf courses and I was particularly struck by the design and look of Clandon Wood Natural Burial Ground. East Horsley has a couple of shops and a bus connection to Guildford....

Some of this route goes along a private farm track (Roundtree Farm, West Horsley) although coming from Ripley it's not marked as private. I'm concerned about the route along Rose Lane, Ripley which is nearly a mile of road walking. There's no sensible alternative although it's shared with the Fox Way....
