Hapton’s five Slow Ways are 40% checked
Help connect Hapton
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 Hapton’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeThis route is so inaccurately plotted, particularly where it leaves Hapton Station, crosses the A6068, and accesses the canal towpath, that it is unusable! I have replotted it as ClaHap Two, and walked it....

Steps lead down from the small gap in the hedge to a rather overgrown footpath, and over a stile and farm bridge to eventually reach the canal towpath. ClaHap Three offers a safe way to access the towpath and avoids the busy road, with a 4.1 mile route rather than this 3.8 mile route....

I have previously walked the road from Hapton Station, and accessed the canal towpath to walk westwards, but I have not walked the towpath between SD 78469 32102 and SD 79392 32060 which makes up 20% of the route....
Mary Oz
