gravel path

Crunchy garden walkway

A gravel path is a walkway surfaced with loose small stones rather than pavement or concrete.

The crunching sound underfoot announces arrivals and deters intruders.

Gravel paths appear in gardens, parks, and driveways where a natural aesthetic is preferred over hard surfaces: We strolled down the gravel path to the pond.
