Lea Green’s four Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Lea Green
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 Lea Green’s Slow Ways.

Once over the crossings of the main road, after a short walk we head down our first proper footpath: a tarmac track alongside an industrial estate.
