Help connect Hexham

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 Hexham’s Slow Ways.

Once out of Hexham (or before entering Hexham on reverse route) the route is entirely traffic free. Care is needed when the crossing of A695 at Dilston, but otherwise very easy to follow the route, and good underfoot all the way....
