Grade descriptions
All our walks are graded as easy and accessible, easy or moderate, to ensure you can choose the walk that’s right for you. But what do these gradings actually mean? The grades are based on a combination of factors including: terrain, accessibility (gates, stiles, path width), gradient, length, duration, total ascent and highest point. Families are welcome on all of our walks, but not all are pushchair friendly so please read the route descriptions.
Grade: Easy and accessible
Walk length: 3 – 7 km (1.8 – 4.5 miles)
Approximate duration: 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours
Easy and accessible walks go at a leisurely pace and follow generally flat or rolling paths with gentle hills. The paths are wide, firm and have no barriers to access such as steep sections, steps or stiles. The walks are suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs.

Grade: Easy
Walk length: 4 – 10 km (2.5 – 6 miles)
Approximate duration: 2.5 – 4 hours
Easy walks may include some short ascents and descents. The path surface might be earth, grass or stone and – while generally firm – it may have some loose or uneven sections, or be soft underfoot after rain. You may also encounter steps, gates and narrow sections. Most of our Easy walks are very suitable for families, and some are pushchair friendly (please check route descriptions).
Grade: Moderate
Walk length: 6 – 15 km (3.7 – 9 miles)
Approximate duration: 3 – 6 hours
Moderate walks include hilly ground and require a reasonable level of fitness. You might encounter climbs up some steeper sections. The surfaces may be rough and uneven, with rocky or muddy sections, and you may also find yourself walking up irregular steps, over stiles or through narrow gates and gaps.
