A narrow, secondary path or route that runs alongside or beside a main path; a side path.
Combining 'bye' (beside) and 'path' (a way or route), this term literally describes any path that exists beside a principal path or road.
Byepaths shaped medieval life more than main roads—most people walked side paths through fields and forests, making the 'back way' more important to ordinary travelers than the official royal road.
