green lane
Unsurfaced country track
A green lane is a rural track or path, typically unpaved and bordered by hedgerows or vegetation, originally used for driving livestock.
In British usage, green lanes are ancient routes that have survived as public rights of way, now popular with walkers, horse riders, and off-road vehicles.
The term also appears in customs contexts, where the green lane at airports or border crossings is for travelers with nothing to declare.
We took the green lane through the countryside.
