Potton’s six Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Potton
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 Potton’s Slow Ways.

Got out of town quickly in Potton. Well made track. Easy to navigate...

There is the option to come off the road outside Sandy and to walk through the RSPB area, but the paths here can have seasonal restrictions and at times dogs are restricted from certain paths, so sticking to the road is more predictable throughout the year. The Long Riding is pretty much fenced on both sides so good for dogs to be off lead if walking with them. Both towns have good cafes and pubs...
Gerry Moss
We planned this route taking feedback from Sandpot One which required walking on roads without pavement. Walking from Potton to Sandy this takes you in to Sandy just north of the RSPB Nature Reserve. Walked with dogs on a lovely winter morning....
Simon
Parking is available at St Andrews car park in Biggleswade and there's a car park just off the market place in Potton along the route....

From there to Sutton Is a long path that passes a nice avenue of trees into Sutton itself....
Brian McCusker
mbarking on this journey offers a delightful and visually appealing trek, characterized by well-defined trails that guide you seamlessly through the natural landscape. However, it's worth noting that certain stretches of the path can be quite exposed to the elements, and during periods of rainfall or in the heart of the winter season, the trail often becomes muddy and more challenging to navigate. Given these conditions, it might be prudent to choose a different time for your visit, preferably when the weather has been dry for an extended period or during the more temperate months, to ensure a more enjoyable and less cumbersome walking experience....

If I was to walk it again I would turn left at the end of Long Riding and join the B1042 into Sandy as there is a footpath alongside the road all the way into Sandy....
Nice walk following a Roman road part of the way which surprisingly became rather vague and overgrown in places. When crossing the abandoned and overgrown Abbotsley golf course the path was nicely mowed! Had a enjoyable lunch sitting on a shaded bench on Potton village square....
