Connect Winslow 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 Winslow to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Winslow and Aylesbury, Bletchley, Brill, Buckingham, Leighton Buzzard, Milton Keynes, Steeple Claydon

Winslow’s seven Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Winslow
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 Winslow’s Slow Ways.

This route addresses well the first of the access issues raised on Winble 1 (between Winslow and Swanbourne), but does not address the second....

Overall a very pleasant walk, main issues were poorly marked and overgrown footpaths and a fair few stiles and a field of quite pushy cows....

Warning: The footpath between Waddesdon and Quainton is currently (2023) closed for HS2 construction works and will be for some years to come. Further details at https://buckinghamshire-gov-uk.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/Waddesdon_3_2tns9io.pdf....

On leaving WInslow, the first footpath across a field is poorly waymarked and the field itself is totally covered in tall thistles. Then the route goes back to the main road (again fast traffic and no footpath) and continues along that road all the way to Oving and on to Whitchurch....
Jill Wenble
The route worked well and was easy to follow. There are two slight tweaks needed....
Sam Grace
I feel a bit harsh giving this route 2 stars, as it _did_ get me from Leighton to Winslow, but only just....

The first problem is that west of Shipton the route relies on a footpath that doesn't exist. If you back track to Shipton and then follow the road round to Abovemead Farm and rejoin the route you find your self in some very wet/marshy land (this was after nearly two weeks without rain) which is only passable with difficulty. This is fairly easy for the western end, but because of the construction work on the Oxford Bletchley railway line, not so easy for the eastern end of the route at the moment....
Jeremy Lee
As at 23rd May 2021, the footpath has been closed where it crosses the railway line between Winslow and Little Horwood for railway construction, so route cannot be completed at present. No diversion possible....
