Slow Ways linking Kippax and Castleford, Garforth, Sherburn in Elmet, Swillington
England / West Yorkshire / Kippax
Kippax’s four Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Kippax
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 Kippax’s Slow Ways.
