public footpath
Right of way
A public footpath is a legally designated walking route across land, typically rural, that anyone may use regardless of who owns the property.
Common in Britain, where ancient rights of way are protected by law: The public footpath crosses three farms before reaching the village.
Walkers must stay on the path and may not wander onto surrounding land.
