Help connect Ramsbottom
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 Ramsbottom’s Slow Ways.

The majority of this route is well waymarked, especially the section which forms part of the Rossendale Way....
RGW
It uses a well signposted national cycle route and is largely off-road making good use of an old railway track through a very pleasant section of woodland and across the impressive Lumb viaduct....

Walk this routeOverall the route used too many 'rarly used' footpaths that were overgrown and dificult to navigate to give it a high rating. Although it was an enjoyable exbidition, without regular checks on my GPS I would not have been able to follow the route. At 793140 the path crossed farmland, where the use of a bridlepath to B6214 would be much better....

One of my favorite walks, this route follows well trod paths along the river Irwell. The town center section gets off-road fairly quickly following the National Cycle Route 6. The path goes through the Burrs Country park with has food & drink available, and then follows the Irwell to Summerseat and then on into Ramsbottom....

I followed the route on View Ranger and only once or twice went off route but easily spotted it and got back on track....

Although a nice route the first half misses the obvious way along the old railway line which is much firmer underfoot. This route is really only suitable after a long dry spell....

If doing 'out and back' then there is much more free parking at the Ramsbottom end of the route, where there are also many and varied places for refreshment. Plenty of industrial heritage along the route, including a section of the route on cobbles....
