Wigtown’s three Slow Ways are 33% checked
Help connect Wigtown
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 Wigtown’s Slow Ways.

The paved going is, however, good for wheelers and apart from two wide bridleway gates on the off-road section of cycle path at the Newton Stewart end (one pictured), the route is obstacle free.
