Help connect Washington
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 Washington’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeOn the whole a good, easy route for walkers, but not suitable for wheels, but where it gets tricky the mainly off-road coast-to-coast cycle route can be used instead and this is good for wheels....
Russkin
There is a short stretch of road walking until the footpath goes through the pastures to the left. Crossing the road was easier than I thought then it was just a case of following footpaths and grass verges through Washington....
Philip Le Marquand
Then turned right to follow CtoC and on good tree-lined tarmac cycle route....
