Help connect Orcop Hill

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 Orcop Hill’s Slow Ways.

From Dewsall to Much Dewchurch the route passes some luxurious properties that prompted me to reflect on the meaning of "levelling up", and how this oxymoron came to be assimilated into the formal name of a Government department. Photo 1 shows the drive up which the route approaches Dewsall Court and Photo 2 shows The Lawns; the correct line of the footpath between these two locations is a little difficult to follow, and careful use of the OS map app was necessary to stay on track.
