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 Montgomery to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Montgomery and Bishop's Castle, Llanfair Caereinion, Minsterley, Newtown - Y Drenewydd, Welshpool

Montgomery’s five Slow Ways are 35% checked
Help connect Montgomery
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 Montgomery’s Slow Ways.

This route takes you a km and a half out of town to the east to join Offa's Dyke, and I met a couple walking the dyke in sections, who I walked with for a while until the Slow Way took me off a road section just before Forden, and into the fields on a footpath that wasn't visible on the ground and went through fields of crops. They'd been harvested so it was muddy rather than impenetrable, but I reckon better to stick on the road - it's got a pavement and probably only takes 10 mins of striding to get to Forden, whereas the field route was slow. And then when I was almost in the town, and the road has an easy pavement, the route took me off behind a Gypsy/Traveller camp, and between an very fragrant luxury pudding factory (!) and a sewage treatment site (!!)....

The photos uploaded here offer a digitised verion of the definitive map which confirms that there is no recorded right of way through the farm....
