Connect Loughor with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Loughor to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Loughor’s four Slow Ways are 44% checked
Help connect Loughor
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 Loughor’s Slow Ways.
