Help connect Oswestry

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 Oswestry’s Slow Ways.

The paths leaving Llanfyllin pass uphill through some lovely countryside with reasonably easy walking up to Ty Canol at SJ 1754 2100 where the path is indistinct on the ground and required a diversion to a field gate South of the path that took me through a field with a bull.

To avoid the above issues, I would suggest leaving the Slow Ways route at SJ 1732 2086 and follow that path to Llanfechain....
