We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks

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 Wemyss Bay’s Slow Ways.

I can’t believe I was pioneering this route; it was gorgeous! Despite the constant rain I was aware that there were wonderful views out across the Firth of Clyde to the islands and the Cowal Peninsula.

The route started from Wemyss Bay climbing up the winding road through a caravan park but it was not too steep. After a short stretch of pavemented road, I descended through the houses down about seven flights of steps to Inverkip station where there were more steps down, but there was a lift there. There were several possible lunch stops in Inverkip, and also some toilets on the main A78 road, at the layby just west of the marina. This section away from the road was lovely apart from one or two irresponsible dog owners....

Well, this ferry route was a fabulous way of getting between two Slow Ways places when it is impossible to walk and ferries are an acceptable substitute. This was a great day out in the middle of a week of walking Slow Ways based in Glasgow then Helensburgh, and gave my feet a little rest....
