public footpaths
Community walking trails
Public footpaths are legally protected routes across land that anyone may walk.
Common in Britain, they cross private property but remain open to the public by law, marked on maps and often indicated by signposts or waymarkers.
The public footpath cut through three farms before reaching the village.
Landowners must keep them accessible and unobstructed.
