Can I manage that walk?

All walks are graded according to difficulty and the level of fitness required. Walks are graded as:

Easy	no significant obstacles or problems to access
Moderate	longer walks with some slopes, stiles, steps and uneven ground to negotiate
Energetic	as above, may involve steep climbs and more extended walking

Please ensure you are properly equipped to attend these walks.

Health and Safety

The safety of anyone attending these events is of the utmost importance. However, accidents can happen and people attending the events do so at their own risk. Any children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Any vehicles left unattended are left at the owner’s risk.

Dogs

Dogs brought along to the walks must be kept on leads and under close control at all times.

Newport City Council thanks guest leaders for their assistance in organising these events. The co-operation of local landowners, farmers and those providing parking facilities is also greatly appreciated. All the events listed below are free of charge.
