Help connect St Helier

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 St Helier’s Slow Ways.

Good direct route with a mix of urban streets, paths, and some parkland. I had a cup of tea at the cafe next to the entrance to Ravensbury Park, then skidaddled all the way to St Helier station non-stop....

I was looking forward to giving a 3rd positive review and validate the route - but - there is a building site where the route should go, and so, like the previous reviewers, I found myself walking along the river Wandle in Ravensbury Park. Since this is clearly the preferred routing, I think the time has come to make it ‘official’, and I’ll put up a new route option....

To avoid 3 sets of steps (across railway and path to Wimbledon Station) turn right at Dundonald Road and use Hartfield Crescent to get to centre of Wimbledon....

Walk this route

An enjoyable walk that will take you through quiet corridors and footpaths and also green spaces between the two destinations. If the cemetery is open, it is a lovely part of the route, but beware that it is shared between pedestrians and drivers. One of my favourite parts was the path through Morden Hall Park....
