The terrain in Avenham Valley and on the Old Tram Road in Preston, Lancashire, is varied. Paths within Avenham and Miller Parks are generally very well-surfaced (tarmac or compacted gravel) and accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs, though some sections have steep slopes and steps due to the valley setting. The Old Tram Road is a mix of surfaced (tarmac/concrete) and unsurfaced sections, which can become muddy and uneven in places, particularly after rain. There are bridges and some inclines. This Lancashire walk offers a mix of easy and more challenging sections.

- Dog Notes:
Avenham Valley and the Old Tram Road in Lancashire are very popular for dog walking. Dogs are welcome in the parks but should be kept under control, especially near formal gardens, children's play areas, the cafe, and when other park users (including cyclists on shared paths) are present. Some areas may request dogs on leads. Please clean up after your dog; bins are widely available throughout the parks. Be cautious near the River Ribble if your dog is a keen swimmer, as currents can be strong. This Lancashire park is a great urban dog walk.
