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 Simonsbath’s Slow Ways.

As per my review for Lynsim 1, this is a reasonably easy route to follow, except for the open moorland stretches where the path can get lost. It wouldn't suit a wheelchair user....

There's open moorland, which can be a little tricky to follow in poor visibility with only faint traces of path on the ground, but this is otherwise a straightforward route to follow as it matches the Two Moors Way which is signposted. It wouldn't be suitable for people using wheelchairs....
jonathansbean
That said, even a significant deviation from the route isn't going to cause big problems, as the field boundary edge isn't far away and works as a good handrail to get to the correct corner....

WARNING: I've added an image for reference, and cows tend to get moved a lot anyway, but keep an eye out as you go through the 2nd to final gate before Wellshead Lane. I'd highly advise taking the gate on the right a couple 100 meters earlier which you'll have seen easily....
Steven Pinkham
The Tramway has plenty of foraging opportunity if you know what you're doing. As you reach the peek of Exmoor, on a clear day, you can see Dartmoor all the way from where you walked. Then you head down a breathtaking valley into Simonsbath....
Steven Pinkham
I walked from Simonsbath to Barnstaple and had reservations about the route, seeing that there was a lot of road walking. It's not long though until you get to a stretch of lane walking. I had to wait a while to get across, and then comes Grange Hill which is another stretch of road walking and leads into Bratton Fleming. Once you leave the road at Bratton the walk is off road for a long way. I enjoyed this walk, despite the road walking....
Helen Gough
It starts with a fairly steep climb out of Dulverton in a shaded wooded area before crossing fields and moorland before a steep decent to Tarr Steps. The route departs the river for a while before rejoining it close to Cow Castle....
Charles Hedley
It is almost entirely off road accross open moorland and the descent into Lynmouth is something special (although a bit hard on the knees)....
