Use the recorded walking time as a starting point, then read the route and grade. A short-walk classification is not a promise of easy terrain, step-free access or suitability for children.
Tracks qualify only with the published short-walk classification and a recorded walking-time fact backed by content sources. Times are shown verbatim, not converted into an invented duration limit.
All 648 published campsite records, 1589 walking-track records and 26 trip plans are considered against the relevant criteria. Campsites with a closed notice are excluded. Seasonal and access notices remain visible; inclusion does not confirm that a place is open.
Each page shows up to 12 matches per group in name order (A-Z), not a ranking. Use the page links to browse every match. Groups share a page number; shorter groups finish earlier. Full finders also include records outside this topic. Source wording and check dates are retained here and on record pages, not live availability checks.
739 matches; 301-312 in name order.
