Travel / A2

PAHTH/pɑːθ/

A path is a way for walking, often in a park or the countryside: a footpath, follow the path, a cycle path. Road is for vehicles; pavement (British) is beside a street; trail can mean a marked walk in the hills. Path can also mean a way of doing something later (career path). At A2 stay with the walking sense. On the path, not “in the path” for a route you follow.
