Help connect Fakenham
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 Fakenham’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
There were a few obstacles along the way such as a footpath overgrown and inaccessible, meaning I had to find another route around (luckily there was a road just further up that connected). Walking from Swanton to Melton Constable was along a very busy road and found it hard to get up on the side of the verge, out of the way of traffic There was also a field to walk through (public footpath) but did house a herd of cows which was quite unnerving as they all stopped to watch me as they went by....
