Orrell’s four Slow Ways are 38% checked
Help connect Orrell
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 Orrell’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeIt is rather boring and follows Ormskirk Road except for a bizarre diversion down Tunstall Lane for no apparent reason....

One could go down Beacon Road, then turn left down the footpath and follow the perimeter of the housing estate but that's unnecessary deviation....
