We are creating an ambitious national network of walking routes connecting all of Great Britain’s towns and cities, and we need your help!

Slow Ways routes will be the best, most direct way to walk or wheel between any two neighbouring settlements, along existing paths, ways, trails and roads.

The network is designed to make it easier for people to plan and go on walking journeys.

There are currently over 8,000 Slow Ways stretching for over 120,000km. This network of routes was created by volunteers all over the country. Now, these handmade, crowd-sourced routes need to be checked. And that’s where you come in!

Use the Slow Ways app to discover suggested walking routes near you. Choose a route, walk it, and when you’re finished, leave a review to guide others and to help us establish a trusted network of routes.

“The idea is to get people walking between locations they might otherwise drive or take public transport to” The Guardian

“Slow Ways is not just a tool to encourage us to walk more, it is a campaigning tool. Once a route is identified, there is something to defend and to improve” BBC News

“Walkers, your country needs you” National Geographic

"Walk the walk: the app mapping 140,000 miles of public right of way" The Guardian
