country walks
Pastoral hiking outings
Country walks are leisurely strolls through rural landscapes—fields, woodlands, footpaths, and lanes away from urban areas.
The term is primarily British, evoking a traditional pastime of rambling through the countryside for exercise and fresh air: We spent Sunday afternoon on a country walk through the Cotswolds.
The plural form typically refers to the activity as a habit or category rather than a single outing.
