Slow Ways linking Sunniside and Kibblesworth, Rowlands Gill, Stanley, Whickham
England / Tyne & Wear / Sunniside
Sunniside’s four Slow Ways are 38% checked
Help connect Sunniside
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 Sunniside’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
This route follows the B6316 north out of Sunniside along the road starting at the Methodist Church (pic 1). There are off road options that could be explored in a new route as suggested by a previous reviewer, but no reason in my view this shouldn't be one of two or more routes between Sunniside and Whickham....

As the path approaches Birkheads Lane, there is a very steep section out of the old railway cutting up to the road level - very tricky for wheel-based users. A quick detour once you cross the road takes you to Tanfield Railway - friendly cafe on the Andrew's House platform at weekends when the trains are running....
Andy Redfern
This route has a great deal of potential as it follows the excellent old waggonway from Kibblesworth to Andrew's House station on the Tanfield railway. However, it then follows the main road from Andrew's house to Sunniside. This is NOT safe for pedestrians and should not be attempted....

This attractive and well maintained path follows the route of the railway all the way to Sunniside and beyond....

This is a terrible route, it is not a Slow Way at all, it simply follows the road. There is a lovely route over the fields through Marshall's farm. Go that way instead....
