Help connect Halstead
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 Halstead’s Slow Ways.

(There's a bus that runs between Halstead and Colchester every half hour on weekdays, stopping at each of the villages, if you can't manage the whole route). The route as shown through the industrial estate can't be taken, as the estate is surrounded by a fence so you can't access it from the pathway, and the old railway line becomes impassable at this point....
