Our walks are graded for difficulty: our advice which follows the Ramblers Guidance is: Easy Access – walks for everyone, including people with conventional wheelchairs and pushchairs, using easy access paths. Easy – walks for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty, a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. Leisurely – walks for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. Moderate/Intermediate – walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. Strenuous – walks for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level.

Easy Access walks are for everyone, including people with conventional wheelchairs and pushchairs, using easy access paths. Easy walks are for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty, a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. Leisurely walks are for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. Moderate walks are for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. Strenuous walks are for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. Technical walks are for experienced and very fit walkers with additional technical skills.

We have several levels of walks so there is something for everyone: Very short walk: 30 - 60 minutes Suitable for people who have not walked much before, are working to be more active, or are returning from injury or illness. The walks are on flat ground or gentle slopes with mainly firm surfaces with no stiles. Short walk: 60 – 90 minutes Suitable for people looking for gentle exercise in the company of others. Steady walk around 90 minutes The walks will suit walkers who would like to go a bit further but at a steady pace. Longer steady walks: 120 – 180 minutes Longer, more challenging walks which are likely to include stiles, uphill and downhill walking on rougher terrain.

Easy walks are for anyone who does not have a serious mobility difficulty, a specific health problem or is seriously unfit, although the walks may be on unsurfaced rural paths with stiles. Leisurely walks are for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. Moderate walks are for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. Strenuous walks are for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. We use this grade to describe our Ambles walking at 1-1.5. We use this grade to describe most of our Short Walks, and some Longer walks, walking at around 2mph. We typically use this grade to describe our Long and Linear Walks but may include more difficult short walks, walking at around 2.5mph. We use this grade to describe our Fast Fitness Workout Walks which walk at 3.5mph.

Walk at a relaxed pace, often spending time at places of interest en-route. Walking experience isn’t necessary as distances are quite short and gradients generally easy. Good paths but walks are a bit longer. Walks follow well-defined paths, though often in hilly or upland areas, or along rugged coastal footpaths. Long distances in remote countryside and on rough terrain. Expect rocky terrain with sustained ascents and descents. Our most challenging walks where high levels of fitness and stamina are required.

Walk Level 1 is an Easy walk that involves flat surfaces with good footing and mild inclines. Walk Level 2 is Easy/Moderate, with walks that are eight to ten miles a day with five to six hours of walking in total. Walk Level 3 is Moderate, stepping up the pace a little, with the same kind of miles and hours as a Level 2, but on more difficult terrain. Walk Level 4 is Moderate/Energetic, covering eight to 16 miles a day, walking for five to six hours over varying terrain, with ascents and descents.
There is also a Walk Level 5, but the question asks for the 4 levels of walking, which are: Walk Level 1, Walk Level 2, Walk Level 3, and Walk Level 4.

Activity Level 1 is ideal for those new to walking trips.
The pace will be easy, and the itinerary often includes some half-day walks to allow for visits or free time.
Expect two to four hours of walking per day on easy paths, with some minor ascent or descent.
Activity Level 2 expect generally easy trails, but with some ascent and descent on most days.
Activity Level 3 the inclusion of more hilly or even mountainous terrain makes this grade suitable for fit and frequent hikers.
Activity Level 4 an adventure made for experienced hikers and hill walkers with good fitness, normally in mountainous terrain and sometimes at altitude with varied and occasionally challenging conditions underfoot.
The four levels of walking are described as Easy, Easy and Moderate, Moderate, and Moderate and Challenging, which are represented by Activity Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
These levels consider walking distance, elevation gain and the trail conditions, plus altitude where necessary.
Each level has its own specifications regarding the average and maximum distance and elevation gain per day.
These specifications help determine the intensity of the walking activity.
