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 Tebay’s Slow Ways.

There was also a section near Shap Summit close to the railway where fencing had been erected around large areas of tree-planting, across the public right of way, with no indication of where to walk instead.

The route left Kendal via a fairly direct footpath and a bit of A6 pavement to reach a lovely path alongside then River Mint, and then a quiet lane to Patton Hall Farm. Eventually I arrived down by the noisy M6 and the West Coast Main Line railway, that follow the Lune Gorge into Tebay. The pretty-much essential detour here led to a pretty walk along the Lune, and a lane walk with views of the curving strata of rock where the M6 was carved out, to Lune’s Bridge. A lovely new off-road footpath was opened in 2023 avoiding the need to walk along the main road into Tebay, as I have done in the past....
