I've been using google maps but it appears to have major limitations in that you can't make the route go where you want, it often takes circuitous routes ignoring bridges and public footpaths and follows roads when cutting across a park is significantly faster. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Decent site for route planning?

Just drag the route line in google maps where you want it
It will only follow the major roads, it won't cut across a park.
Plot the route around the park. When actually walking just go through the park.

I never would have thought of that...
The problem is I want to know the distance/time it will take, if google maps is taking really long routes I can't judge that. Obviously I'm not going to actually walk the stupidly long routes and onto a car only bridge that google would have me do.
I have just been googling a bit.
