Help connect Stanley

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 Stanley’s Slow Ways.

Walk this route

You soon leave the wooded path up through pastures where I discovered from waymarkers I was sharing this section of the route with the Tyne and Wear Heritage Trail. You climb through some beauitiful woodland and eventually join the Consett & Sunderland Railway Path which you follow until the final short path into Stanley Town Centre....
