A generally very enjoyable route, mainly through rolling farmland pastures and arable fields, with an urban fringe nature reserve, some woodland edge and a corner of one of those big South Gloucestershire commons thrown in along the way. The Slow Way leaves Yate on quiet roads and paths via green spaces among housing and a path through a woodland nature reserve, leaving the town via the village of Yate Rocks, where it heads first into the valley, briefly on the Jubilee Way, but soon climbs away to track along a low ridge with extensive views west, and eventually reaches the village of Wickwar, where there is a tea room and a pub at the northern end of the high street. From Wickwar the route heads east down into a stream valley via an equine facility with grazing horses and up again to meet a lane along the western arm of Inglestone Common running along the northern edge of Lower Woods nature reserve. The route initially crosses a brook and heads through a little planted-up paddock where the path is not so obvious....

Decent route overall but marred by an area of confusion around some new housing at the northern edge of Yate, where it is not possible to walk the route as currently plotted. I will share an accessible version....

Once you have escaped the first mile or so of mazy alleyways through the housing estates of Thornbury, this is a good walk on quiet lanes and farmland in the rolling territory between the low-lying Severn Vale and the rise of the Cotswold edge. Some good views along the way and lovely today with angled late autumn sunlight and golden bronze leaves on the many oak trees. It is mostly on-road for the next few miles and the route climbs steadily uphill, but the lanes are quiet and there are some good views around and back over the Severn Vale. At Bibstone, there is a pub, the Royal Oak, with outside tables with a good view. The walk down from Church End into Charfield (nice bench to sit on in the church grounds) is good with a view to the Cotswold edge ahead. The route skirts the edge of the village and crosses the railway before routing through an area of arable land....
