−	In general terms, a walkway ~~can be defined as~~ a clearly demarcated trail or path for walking. It can be paved, unpaved or constructed of wood or other materials, depending on the demands of the topography and terrain. According to the HMRC internal manual, “[https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-relief-for-disabled-people/vrdp36000 VAT Relief for Disabled People Manual]” (VRDP36000 - Walkways) a walkway is “a covered path providing shelter from the elements; or a covered bridge above the ground linking buildings and providing shelter from the elements.”	+	In general terms, a walkway is a clearly demarcated trail or path for walking.

In general terms, a walkway can be defined as a clearly demarcated trail or path for walking. It can be paved, unpaved or constructed of wood or other materials, depending on the demands of the topography and terrain. According to the HMRC internal manual, “[https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-relief-for-disabled-people/vrdp36000 VAT Relief for Disabled People Manual]” (VRDP36000 - Walkways) a walkway is “a covered path providing shelter from the elements; or a covered bridge above the ground linking buildings and providing shelter from the elements.”

When used by equipment, wide walkways can serve as paths to avoid damage that could be caused to surrounding grounds.

= Raised walkways =

A raised walkway (sometimes referred to as a skyway, skybridge or skyway) can be an architectural element that gives people access between buildings or along designated paths. This type of raised walkway may be covered to protect the users from the elements.

Raised walkways can be installed on roofs to provide access to areas that would be inaccessible. This type of element may be called a catwalk, which is: ‘An internal or external walkway above the surrounding area that provides higher level access.’
