We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks

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 Motherwell’s Slow Ways.

I started at Motherwell train station, walked over the bridge across the railway (few stairs to climb to walk over the bridge), then its downhill along Ladywell Road in Motherwell, through a small housing estate, come to a wooded area, followed a path which leads you to Strathclyde park, lovely views, sun shining on the lake, easy pathway to walk round, go on through an underpass, then up through the Furlough estate (slightly steep hill) crossed over road round past County Buildings in Hamilton, passed a well known ice cream parlour Equis, pit stop for ice cream then onto Hamilton West train station. Lovely leisurely walk, would definitely recommend it as it's not too far a distance and the views were worth it. The route was safe, no access issues apart from stairs up to the bridge....

Walked Motherwell train station (you walk over the bridge to start which is behind the station) to Hamilton West....

Bit of a slow start as couldn't get the app to reverse the route (until we nearly completed the walk!) Was a pleasant, fairly easy walk. Starts of through streets then a nice walk around part of Strathclyde park before finishing up at Hamilton West train station (getting a well deserved ice cream from equies)...
Avril Kerr
It’s a straight walk up the hill from there into Hamilton and finishing at Hamilton West railway station....
Lorna Easton
After crossing the South Calder Water the route joins the Greenlink which was a good path and takes you right to Motherwell town centre and the train station....

Review of SlowWays Route Hammot one (Hamilton to Motherwell). It eventually leads to Ladywell Road via the edge of the loch, some short wooded sections and the residential Brogan Crescent. Eventually a short length of footpath leads to a footbridge over the railway and the end of the route at Motherwell Railway Station....
