Progress towards triple-checked route options for Perranporth’s three Slow Ways: 50%
Help connect Perranporth
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.
