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 Kilmacolm’s Slow Ways.

The old railway line is also used by cyclists, and the surface is smooth enough for road bikes. For walking, it is a little flat and boring, compared to other quiet country roads and paths nearby; though you will still see the countryside; cows; and sheep....

The first half of this route from Kilmacolm was along a quiet single-track country road through very pleasant countryside. The route left the road via a tied gate into a grassy lane, next to a dog-exercising field. It felt as if the land owner was discouraging access but not prohibiting it entirely, and given the access rights in Scotland I found it difficult to decide whether or not to fail the route, especially as there are not a lot of alternatives to road routes here....

The route begins in the centre of Kilmacolm and almost immediately follows a stone-stepped lane between two streets (Port Glasgow Road and High Street). The route then heads uphill and out of town, following High Street and then West Glen Road (this latter road is followed for most of the first half of the route). On this occasion, my companion and I carefully crossed the fence and continued along the mapped route. It is then a relatively simple task to follow the mapped route through Dungavel to eventually arrive at Bishopton Station and the end of the route....
