Perambulation refers to the act of walking around, surveying land, or touring. In English law, historically, it was used to establish the bounds of a municipality by walking around it, a practice known as "beating the bounds" in England and Wales [1]. The term can also be more broadly defined as traveling over or through, especially on foot [2]. Synonyms include stroll, walk, constitutional, saunter, wander, trip, ramble, amble, tour, and parade [3]. In American English, it can specifically mean to walk around to officially inspect and maintain the boundary of a forest, estate, etc. [4].
