Progress towards triple-checked route options for Southwick’s three Slow Ways: 83%
Help connect Southwick
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 Southwick’s Slow Ways.

Only negative comments are around tree roots narrowing the pavement (which are not significantly obstructive and there are other options, such as crossing the road) and the end of the route which takes you across the green (not recommended as barrier blocks exit to green at the far side). Apart from that this is probably about as easy as they come!...

All of the route is on concrete in a residential area, and so is accessible in principle but the pavement on one road, i think Park Road, was not suitable for chair users or scooters. The trees planted took up most of the pavement and routes were coming up through making what pavement there was very uneven. Route goes past/near several schools so busy at peak school times....
