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 Newton Stewart’s Slow Ways.

Newton Stewart—Wigtown

The paved going is, however, good for wheelers and apart from two wide bridleway gates on the off-road section of cycle path at the Newton Stewart end (one pictured), the route is obstacle free. It jinks up to join a main road on a cycle path pavement for a while but good views down from it before it drops down below the level of the road and goes off road completely for the last section into Newton Stewart, eventually reaching the banks of the river....
