footpaths
Lanes for walkers
Footpaths are paths meant for walking rather than driving—narrow trails through parks, countryside, or between buildings.
In British usage, footpath also means a sidewalk alongside a road.
The word emphasizes pedestrian use: The footpath wound through the woods, Keep to the footpath.
