Help connect Heathfield

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 Heathfield’s Slow Ways.

I cycled this route yesterday, which is cheating really. However it shows that the route is completely suitable for anybody on wheels end to end....
