countryside walk

Pastoral leg-stretcher outdoors

A countryside walk is a recreational stroll through rural areas—fields, woodlands, footpaths, or trails away from urban settings.

The term is especially common in British English, where public rights of way make such walks a cultural institution: We took a lovely countryside walk along the river.

The activity combines exercise with appreciation of natural scenery.
