Three excerpts from Robert Macfarlane's The Old Ways: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Journey on Foot:

 "...once yous commence to abide by them, yous come across that the landscape is all the same webbed amongst paths as well as footways... pilgrim paths, dark-green roads, drove roads, corpse roads, trods, leys, dykes, drongs, sarns, snickets - tell the names of the paths out loud as well as at speed as well as they larn a poesy form or rite - holloways, bostles, shutes, driftways, lichways, ridings, halterpaths, cartways, carneys, causeways, herepaths."

sarn - (Welsh) a causeway

snicket - Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 narrow passage or alley (Northern England). Synonyms: ginnel, twitchel.

lichway - path past times which the dead are carried to the grave

drove road/droveway - route or runway along which livestock are (or historically were) regularly driven
