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 Sanquhar’s Slow Ways.

Follows in the most part the Southern Uplands Way route, but without going in to Beattock. Easy to navigate and in clear weather, stunning views. Also includes a lot of forest trails...
Tim Ryan
Nice route over the hills using a mixture of tracks, an old drove road and quiet lanes. No facilities along the way so users need to be self sufficient....
