Slow Ways linking Pyle and Bridgend (Wales), Maesteg, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, Sarn
Wales / Bridgend / Pyle
Pyle’s five Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Pyle
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 Pyle’s Slow Ways.

A safe if unexciting cycle path mixed between segrated traffic lanes and traffic free routes, with some queiter lanes. Poorly maintained for wheels in some places particularly just outside Pyle....

Then the route went off road alongside cycle lanes until it left the confines of Bridgend. Once I visited the church I followed the route across agricultural land and although the route diverts off the right of way halfway across there is an obvious track to follow. The path eventually leads through the middle of a farm and reaches the road that runs alongside Stormy Down onto the A48....

Walk this routeI would strongly recommend not to do this route and chose PylBri 2 route that addresses the rights of way issues and safety....

Going round isn't a problem with some lovely country lanes leading to Porthcawl....

You start in maesteg Town and the first mile is up hill until you get to the school, from the school the routes takes you through a narrow lane which is overgrown and takes you to a nettle/stingy overgrown Marsh (do not bother, unwalkable and you can go round) which will be via road through a housing estate....
Paul Currie
A lot of roads where nicer footpaths could seemingly have been chosen - but otherwise a clear and easy walk...
Laura Phelps
Part of the route (country lanes) is liable to flooding above ankle depth after prolonged periods of heavy rain - wear long wellies, rather than walking boots....
