In the Buddha's time and in the South East Asian Buddhist practice traditions, walking meditation was/is done back & forth.

Choose a path, twenty to thirty paces long, in a shady quiet place, mark both ends for starting & ending points, and simply walk back & forth, from one end, to the other, turning around, back & forth.

The chosen path will become well worn, easy to sweep and, generally, ants will not walk on it.

It will offer you a place to do walking meditation, where your mind will not be concerned with extraneous matters and also allow your mind to develop deeper samadhi.

Kind regards
