The inaccurate part of the plot was along the busy main road, Three Brooks Lane, past the Tesco petrol station, close to the suggested entrance to Willow Brook shopping centre where the route ends....

The former railway line shared-use route out of Bristol was very pleasant, and included a bit of classic Bristol street-art....

I can only presume that the previous three reviewers followed the Frome Valley Walkway, crossing two bridges, without noticing that they had gone off this Slow Ways route....

Mary Oz

As expected, it was largely an easy walk using well established and gravelled lanes, and quiet minor roads. This is to prevent traffic problems while the A432 is closed - there is no actual obstruction on the road, and it is in fact quite pleasant to walk down it knowing there will be no traffic at all!...

At Avon Alpacas in Siston, you do have to walk up the driveway and then the path takes you around the house to the right and through to the alpaca fields....

Nicola Taylor

Walked this route in reverse from Hambrook to Wick, was a decent route - some decent views, not too hard going terrain wise but the usual turn stiles & other obstacles which would make this route harder, potentially blocked at points, for wheelchair users etc....

Jimmy Shakespeare

The first mile or so is easy enough on the roads and paths when you cross the M4 don’t take to obvious foot and cycle path instead cross this and the correct path is just after the cycle path and is signed but we missed it initially. The next part the route takes you across a field with no clear path we went round one side but met the path at the bottom of the field as you enter the trees which suggests the actual path we should have taken goes the opposite way around the field....

We follow the road to its end by the bridge over the river Frome, then follow the Frome Valley Way under the M4 and the A417 to a T junction where we turn right into a small housing estate. We follow the road left to a bridge where we cross the river, and follow the Frome Valley Way again. We follow Stapleton Road up the hill then use the cycle track which continues under and alongside the motorway for some distance into Riverside Park, where we take the right hand path then return to the river and follow Wellington Road, then the paved path to Champion Square....

We start through the shopping centre and continue on a cycle track that reminded me of Milton Keynes, then follow a railway and cross a bridge into Wapley Common - here I stayed on the wide tarmac path rather than trying to follow the right of way around the west edge. Here we take the road opposite that climbs steeply up Ivory Hill, then take a path that leads into a small area of access land, which is mostly filled with holly bushes - there is a visible path which is easy enough to follow but quite difficult to use without being scratched by the rampant holly. At Down Road we cross the river and follow The Dingle, a riverside residential street, then take the track left that leads to a bridge, which we cross and continue on a good track (less of a hill than the OS 1:25000 suggests), then turn right when we reach the road, then take three left turns to reach and cross the river again....

Hugh Hudson

Past Snuff Mills the tarmac path stops and the path becomes harder to walk and care needs to be taken not to slip on the steps...

Entrance into Yate via quiet multiuser paths through Wapley Bushes nature reserve, then a green corridor by the railway, and on through the housing estates....

Mockymock

A really nice walk but there are a couple of minor blocked access issues on the existing plot at Park Lane (w3w budget.tucked.daydream) and at Boxhedge Farm (vent.utter.octagonal), plus altered footpath routing through the golf course at Kendleshire. I will share another, very similar route with a more accurate plot....

Mockymock

A good route overall but access is blocked and confusing in the area of the Shortwood Golf course immediately around Lodge Farm. I will share another version...

Mockymock

Full review to come soon.......

Mockymock

The route is definitely good enough to be part of the network, I would walk it again and suggest it to others....

Sara Green

Overall this is a good route but the current development work between the stoke gifford bypass and M32 means a diversion into Hambrook lane and then along the bypass rather than directly across that area....

Julian_L2

Quirky urban route at first then delightful Frome valley...

Hilary Cooling

Major construction work is happening in the field after the M32 and there is a poorly signed detour around the site....

Clare England

A walk of contrasting city and countryside along the river Frome....

Nick Wainwright

A more direct route which follows the Frome Valley Walkway....

We walked it in April after a reasonably dry spell, but there were still some muddy & slippery sections....

Lovely walk if you are prepared to get muddy, even in dry months there can be some lingering mud north of the viaduct/Huckford quarry. Also be careful if you are taking a dog, there can be cattle and occasionally bulls in the fields north of Huckford. Wouldn't suggest this route is suitable for mobility issues or young children in the winter, especially if it has been wet....

Alex

The highlight is the Huckford Viaduct which you pass under just before a nature reserve and the slow way takes the pleasing detour over Bury Hill fort. Good access to buses, pubs at both ends and a pleasing church in Frampton Cotterell....

Steve_Roser

It is easy to navigate as it follows the clearly-signed Frome Valley walkway pretty much all the way, and there is a frequent bus service that passes both ends. If you want a shorter walk and to make less of an effort, keep following the Frome Valley Walkway straight along the quiet lane....

Mockymock

This route is easily navigable and mostly off-road, using two green corridors - the Bristol to Bath railway path and the lovely wooded valley of the River Frome, with a short road-based crossover between the two half way along....

Mockymock

Current diversions due to house building on previous green fields :( A direct route with most of it on tarmac footpaths through housing estates. A brief respite whilst walking through the Green corridor that has been left in Bradley Stoke....

Tracie_Bennett

This is a great Slow Ways route to Hambrook (and beyond) as the Frome Valley Walkway continues through Winterbourne, Frampton Cotterell, Iron Acton, Yate and Chipping Sodbury....

Tracie_Bennett

Lovely scenic route comprising the Frome Valley Walkway and Bristol to Bath Railway Path. Some muddy sections and obstacles....

Aishling

Pleasant route but currently diverted midway due to large housing development. Areas of the route narrow and slightly overgrown when walked in late May....

Aishling

A generally good route, currently partly diverted due to development work....
