Help connect Wiveliscombe
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 Wiveliscombe’s Slow Ways.

The route in and out of Wellington currently is subject to a temporary footpath closure until April 2022, due to housing development. There is a detour in place once you get to it, which directs you over the railway bridge at Longforth farm.
