Somewhat of a challenging Slow Way in the wet weather as you walk through the fields, but it's a nice starting point to walk in conjunction with other routes towards Milton Keynes. More details to follow....

This is an OK Slow Way, no doubt better in the summer. Longer review to follow....

This is a good Slow Way with lots of easy canal walking. Longer review to follow...

I proceeded along the path without challenge and met up with the Milton Keynes Boundary Walk, which the route follows for most of the way. The section as you cross the River Tove involves steps up to the various bridges and stiles make the route less accessible too. The route was certainly enjoyable and was an easy walk, although doesn't appear accessible for wheelers....

David Sanderson added Yarhar two, a new walk from Yardley Gobion to Hartwell
Walk this routeA really enjoyable walk along the Grand Union Canal, but needs sorting at either end. This brings me on to accessibility, which this route could do much better, particularly at the Milton Keynes end. In terms of transport the route starts at Milton Keynes Central Railway Station and connects with Wolverton which is good, but bypasses bus connections in Milton Keynes and misses the bus stop in Yardley Gobion. Once on the canal, the route was easy to navigate but I seemed to spend most of my time in Milton Keynes wondering where I needed to turn next....

David Sanderson added Yarmil two, a new walk from Yardley Gobion to Milton Keynes
Walk this routeAt the Hartwell end, rather than following the more direct and better maintained cycleway it directs you along the footpath....
David Sanderson
It specifically takes you across the bridge to follow the Midshires Way and then changes its mind under the bridge when you are already on the wrong side of the water course....
David Sanderson
Generally easy to follow- a couple of crop fields North West of Alderton not the easiest to find the path across but overall a nice route....
Paul Rogers
There is a more direct route in the section from Wolverton to Milton Keynes Central, but it is worth taking taking the suggested route if you have time....
