What is a Slow Way?

A Slow Way is a route for walking, or wheeling, between two places - neighbouring cities, towns and villages - using a wide variety of existing paths, ways, trails and roads.

Their key principle is that people should be able to walk reasonably directly, safely, easily and enjoyably between neighbouring settlements. There may be more than one Slow Ways route option between two locations.

While we are currently focussed on walking routes, in the future we may look at cycling and other active ways of getting about too.
