I've just stumbled across the nascent Railwalks effort.
There's a launch workshop planned for 9th March in Worcester, in case anybody local is interested.
It's an initiative to map safe walking routes between UK railway stations, in conjunction with the team behind the excellent Slow Ways network.These are some of the walks done by Steve Melia, aka the Green Travel Writer, between railway stations around Bristol, where he lives. The purple and blue lines are day walks. The orange ones involved an overnight stay
Railwalks.co.uk was formed when Steve met Daniel Raven-Ellison the founder of Slow Ways and Andy Stevenson, creator of Point2 Guides and whose research area is walking guide materials development at the University of Worcester. Slow Ways launched in 2021 with a similar aim: to create a national network of walks between towns and cities. You can see how far they have got on this progress map.
