Help connect Highworth
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 Highworth’s Slow Ways.

It removes the three flights of steps, and tidies up the route near the B n Q warehouse. I'm sure there are nicer routes into Swindon, but it will need a more local walker to compile. Care needs to be taken in crossing the busy A and B roads, and navigating the Magic Roundabout....

The extended segment of road walking wasn't terrible, but it was very long....
