Walk4Life Miles are 1 mile long walking routes. They are
easy to follow, free of barriers such as gates or stiles and
are waymarked with
distinctive yellow
signs showing where
the route starts and
which way to go.
It takes most people
about 20 minutes to walk a mile. If you’re not used to
taking much exercise it might take longer at first.
