Halesworth’s seven Slow Ways are 32% checked
Help connect Halesworth
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 Halesworth’s Slow Ways.

Walk undertaken by two Blythburgh residents which is the mid-point for the route and from where there is a infrequent 99A bus service covering the route (excl Sundays). The footpath on the north bank of the River Blyth approaching Blythburgh (TM 452 756) is closed until August 2022 so stay on the Slow Ways path along the south bank which is now open...
Colin of Blythburgh
I shall try to find and record a safer route between Halesworth and Beccles if possible but 90 percent of this route from Redisham to the Southern end of Beccles is on a narrow and fast B road with no pavement. The final detour around the West side of the school playing field on the South of Beccles to the very top of Ringsfield Road is in no way accessible to those using a wheelchair. If wheeling instead of walking then best to stay on Ringsfield Rd and pass the high school on your way North to St Michael’s Bell Tower....
Philip Smith
Starting in historic Southwold; boats at Southwold Harbour; views over Bulcamp marshes; woods at Dead Man's Covert and Walberswick Nature reserve; Blythburgh's "cathedral of the marshes" and railway relics (being excavated in May 2021); grazing cattle and sheep by the river; old maltings and arts centre (The Cut) at Halesworth. Pubs advertising food (as at May 2021): Southwold, Southwold Harbour, Blythburgh, Blyford, Wenhaston and Halesworth. Going East from Blythburgh the route suggests using the South bank of the river but there is a sign saying no through route....
