Connect Weymouth with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Weymouth to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Weymouth and Chickerell, Dorchester, Fortuneswell, Swanage, Wareham

Weymouth’s five Slow Ways are 65% checked
Help connect Weymouth
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 Weymouth’s Slow Ways.
