Slow Ways linking Haydock and Ashton-in-Makerfield, Billinge, Newton-le-Willows, St Helens

Haydock’s four Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Haydock
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 Haydock’s Slow Ways.

From Haydock library (a few shops, bus stops) it's a long and uninteresting road walk until we hit the edge of town, where we head up a residential road and, past a barrier, join a nice little wooded footpath. Again, it's an uninteresting road walk when there's a nice wooded lakeside path just to our right....

Crossing the East Lancs Road at the main junction, we follow the road east for a short time, before joining a footpath on the right. Wet and muddy in places, it clibsa wooded hill, which soon levels off, before becoming a tarmac path running past a housing estate and joining the main road ahead, when we turn right. Turning left onto Sherlock Road, passing shops on the left, we soon tsje a right turn and arrives at Haydock library, essentially the end of the route....

Walk this routeCrossing a footbridge and up some steps, the path leads us to another footpath passing a car park. Eventually we come to a road where the pavement runs out and the route becomes a well-used earth path (ie muddy), and once through a kissing gate, we're into Lyme & Wood Country Park....
Hiking Historian
From the centre of Haydock, we take well-paved roads to the East Lancs Road, a busy dual carriageway which we cross using a footbridge. Once over the bridge, it's along the wall of the school to the main road, which we follow into the centre of Ashton-in-Makerfield, and, past the crossroads, to the end of the route....

It's not an easy path: overgrown, with debris and even old bottles on the path, it is only for the foolhardy (like myself!)...
Hiking Historian
There are many problems with this route: first, the route crosses the East Lancs Road where there is no crossing (there is a stepped footbridge nearby); also, there is no access from the main road to the residential road of The Hedgerows....
