Help connect Tiverton

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 Tiverton’s Slow Ways.

A good option to DULTIV(two) which utilizes the Tiverton Old Road for much of its length between Bampton and Tiverton. Unfortunately although not heavy on traffic many locals use that road as a fast alternative to the main road in the valley and so drice accordingly....

Now that the building work appears to have finished on the Farleigh Meadows estate at Tiverton. The walk through here has been reinstated and it is no longer necessary to walk along the Rackenford Road at this point. I have included a screenshot of the route through this estate below....

The southern section between Silverton & Bickleigh is generally on small roads/lanes, although some of them are too small for vehicles, so at least quiet and generally traffic-free. It also includes a noticeable climb of a hill north of Silverton, which does provide some pleasant views south towards the coast. The northern half of the route between Bickleigh and Tiverton is mostly on decent footpaths beside the River Exe....
