The path down to the water skirted the growing pease, keeping close to a hedge of thick bushes above the mill-pool.

A further path skirts the southern edge of the hill.

The path came out of the trees and skirted an outcrop of rock.

The path follows the coast around the eastern tip of the Island at Foreland and then skirts the cliffs above Whitecliff Bay.

At times, the path skirted yawning chasms and more than once Taran stumbled, buffeted by a sudden chill blast that flung him against the walls.

The path skirted the side of a wood, on the other side the hill rose steeply covered with heather and gorse.

The marked path skirted it by digging a small ledge into the side of the wall.

To their right, a narrow path skirted the base of the cliff and teetered on the brink of falling into the swamp.

The tunnel debouched into an ugly forest whose twisted trees seemed about to clutch at any travelers, and these flinched as the path skirted the trees.

The path skirted its very edge, but was not submerged.
