Slow Ways linking Newquay and Indian Queens, Padstow, Perranporth, St Columb Major, Truro

England / Cornwall / Newquay

Newquay’s five Slow Ways are 45% checked

Drawn: 5/5
reviewed: 2/5
verified: 2/5
and surveyed: 0/5

Help connect Newquay

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 Newquay’s Slow Ways.
