Minster’s five Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Minster
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 Minster’s Slow Ways.

Quite odd leaving Minster as you follow along the road before heading along a very strange concrete footpath through an industrial estate, but once you're out into the fields it's quite a beautiful walk and very easy to follow. There was a somewhat scary road crossing around Minster Road, but we were walking around rush hour and I can't imagine there is a better route. All in all, a very efficient and fairly pleasant route....

This route is quite straightforward, almost entirely flat and following well trodden/well maintained paths.There was a potential routing issue around Pluck's Gutter, but this may well have been a fault with our navigation skills!...

Nice shortish route, bringing you through some nice fields etc....

Great walk, taking you through some beautiful areas. Some parts overgrown with nettles so I'd recommend trousers!...

the route is easy to follow and the section from Canterbury toGrove Ferry is very pretty. The path from plucks gutter along the river side towards Minster is overgrown and you have to push thru a bit. the section thru the nature reserve at Stodmarsh has quite a few gates that are not suitable for bikes...

Once you leave the road and pick up the path along the cliffs the view is stunning and again nice clear paths. just south of the path where it leaves the Sandwich road and heads east towards the cliffs there is a cafe on the grass that is open during the day and serves simple food and drinks....

Good routes, mainly following the River Stour and much of it along the Stour Valley walk. Practically all of the route is off road and the countryside is pleasant. Rail service back to Canterbury from Minster....
