Slow Ways linking Stourbridge and Brierley Hill, Hagley, Halesowen, Kingswinford, Kinver

Stourbridge’s five Slow Ways are 65% checked
Help connect Stourbridge
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 Stourbridge’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeWe follow the canal past a flight of locks (the basin above the lowest one was overflowing a little down the towpath) and over a side branch then go up the steps onto Mill Street, which can be crossed on a zebra crossing....

Just before a house we take a path right through fences, then join the deeply rutted North Worcestershire path - bone dry sand when I walked it but the ruts suggest mud when wet. We go straight on on a good path which crosses a golf course where the path lines are clearly marked....
Hugh Hudson
Crossing the road as it feeds into the Stourbridge Ring Road needs some care but otherwise a very safe, pleasant route....

Only tricky crossing was in the final section coming into Stourbridge crossing the ring road, which doesn't have many crossings....

Walk this routeThe route compiler has left very good directions and has clearly a good knowledge of the route. It would make sense for that person to review it and get the route 'snailed'....

It's a very pleasant route but sadly, because of some short, very uneven sections, not one for anyone using wheels and anyone having mobility issues would need to take particular care.....

Walk this routeA step free version is possible by staying on the main road and joining the road to the front of the station. First, crossing the A491 from the direction of Stourbridge Town Station and then crossing Racecourse Lane, which isn't easy to see along....
David Sanderson
A series of roads bring you to Stourbridge Junction Railway Station and the Seven Stars Pub (recommended). The last section is via a footpath which you join in a residential area, after which it takes you under the railway and eventually to the meeting place outside the Bus Station and Stourbridge Town Railway Station....

Walk this routeRoute should go from top corner of Mary Stevens Park*, cross Heath Lane, public footpath joining top end of Pepper Hill, then Chapel St, Park St, then rejoin New Rd.(Ring Road). Suggestion: for a little more off-road, from Norton Rd, not Stanley rd but take Beech Rd (has bus stops) & sign posted path across common; cross Stanley rd into Park. In Mary Stevens Park*, go to bandstand & take path that slopes directly up to top corner*....

Version 1 is showing route through private gated road, should be neighbouring r.o.w path and street. Some choices for the path are debatable and might be improved, e.g. choice between awkward path or more direct minor road....
