Connect Oswestry with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Oswestry to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

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.

Some may prefer to go along the length of the Montgomery Canal to Llanymynech for ease of route. Section between Llanymynech and Oswestry had clear paths but a few broken stiles....

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. At SJ 1806 2130, the Slow Ways route turns left on exiting the wood but a double gate crosses the track with a ‘Private, No Entry’ sign. To avoid the above issues, I would suggest leaving the Slow Ways route at SJ 1732 2086 and follow that path to Llanfechain....

The route follows identifiable paths so is easy to navigate. The paths occasionally have a width reduced to about 600mm....
