"Walter's Walk" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded at Stargroves in 1972 during the sessions for the group's fifth album, Houses of the Holy, but it remained unreleased until 1982 when it was included on the compilation Coda.
The date of singer Robert Plant's performance on the song is debatable, as it may have been recorded at a later time (most likely the November 1978 In Through the Out Door sessions).
"Walter's Walk" was never performed live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts, though instrumental snippets of it were regularly included into "Dazed and Confused" during the band's 1972 and 1973 concert tours. One example of this arrangement is presented on the live album How the West Was Won, where it also appears with "The Crunge" on a 25 minute medley.
