Slow Ways linking Kington and Hay-on-Wye, Hundred House, Leominster, Llandrindod Wells, Presteigne, Weobley, Wigmore

Kington’s seven Slow Ways are 32% checked
Help connect Kington
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 Kington’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeStarted off as a great route but when I got near Presteigne - the woods and quarry - there is a major access issue. The track used is totally overgrown and the route blocked by a fence and a sign warning of the dangers of the quarry. Will use half of this route to create Kinpre 2....

Bit of everything with streams, woods, forest, wild flowers and birds of prey. Easy to follow trail with a very rewarding 360 view at the top....

This route is better in my opinion as it follows the Mortimer Trail and cuts through some beautiful tranquil woodland. It also has an incredible view over the valley. Take some flip flops to paddle in the ford to cool your feet off !...
Neil Summersgill
I would love to walk this route again in the summer when the fields are full of crops and the orchards are at their best. My sense is that someone might be able to create an even better route, but this is a good Slow Ways route and a great way to get between Leominster and Kington, complete with pubs for coffee/food/drinks after 11km and 22km, which is perfect for a 28km route....
