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.

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....
