Redruth’s four Slow Ways are 69% checked
Help connect Redruth
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 Redruth’s Slow Ways.

Not too many hills, the terrain was a nice mix of footpaths, backroads and grassy fields. It was very peaceful and rural, saw more rabbits than people, and the people I did see were all friendly and approachable as is often the case in rural areas....
Jacob Wright
It is overall a fantastic walk, with great views, and is generally easily to follow and navigate....

There are some sections of paved road, which became more common nearer Truro, but these were all quiet enough. Later on the roads are generally a bit more enclosed by trees, so views are reduced, but the section coming across Carrine Common with Truro on the horizon was beautiful....
Ned
Redruth and Truro both have plenty of ammenities and onward travel options so are good start and end points. Carharrack and Twelveheads serve as good places to stop on the route if required....
everydayduffy
You cannot miss the magnificent Carn Brea near Redruth....
Edensyard
Redtru2 has wide easy paths near Truro round the river fowey and on the Newham Trail....

The route is largely okay for wheels but if you want to visit St Euny Church there is a small obstruction largely aimed at cyclists....
John Pestle
There's a small diversion to gwenap pit which is worth it if that's your thing....
Jamie Woolcock
Stithians and Lanner, which are passed through on the route also have shops and other useful facilities if required. After descending into Lanner, there is another fairly steep climb on quiet roads, before a more gentle finish heading into Redruth....
everydayduffy
Very enjoyable route taking in some picturesque and quite country lanes especially around Kennall Vale, and rewarding height gained with some impressive views, particularly of Carn Brea when coming in to Redruth....
JTinsley
A fairly easy walk mostly following National Cycle Route 3 which is well waymarked....
Charles Hedley
Overall a very pleasant, fairly easy walk on lanes, tracks and open fields. Train travel back to start point via Truro available....
Charles Hedley
One option is to turn right and walk on the main road to reconnect. The preferable alternative is to turn left and soon take a right turn for a minor path/lane that crosses over the train line and then the A30....
Paul Haines
Shortly after Twelveheads we saw signs for the National Cycle Route No 3 and followed that to Redruth as time was short and the footpath more challenging to follow....
Paul Haines
2 cafes at the halfway point and lots of interesting things to see....

Slow Ways added Redper one, a new walk from Redruth to Perranporth
