Who we are…

slowwmo CIC is a social enterprise creating connections. We work using historical transport routes as our platform: routes  which were created to bring products to market and people to communities, now re-purposed as leisure and wildlife routes. 

We create a platform based on the route where people today can connect with each other and with the past, creating communities that are interested in the journey, interested in a slower pace of life, where quality and individuality is important. 

Our first route is the Corkscrew Railway, a line built in 1847 connecting the small places and businesses of the New Forest and Dorset with Southampton and with London.

This route changed lives in 1847… and we hope that our platform will change lives today.  

Our plans…

Corkscrew is our first platform. We plan to establish at least three others: canals, drove roads, other railways…

So imagine…

imagine a map of the historic route, and imagine overlaying a map of all the people and trade connections of that route.  

imagine a map of today, and the connections with the route and the people who use the route today, their stories, their work and their adventures.

imagine being part of a community that celebrates these connections, from the past, in the present and in the future.
