A boardwalk is a walking path consisting of planks or wooden plates that are attached to poles or support beams above the ground. You often see them:
• in marshy or wet areas, such as forests with marshy areas, dunes or nature reserves,
• to ensure that walkers stay dry and do not damage the vulnerable nature,
• sometimes in a straight line, sometimes winding (zigzagging) to follow the natural environment.

One of the oldest boardwalks is the 'Sweet Track' in Somerset which was built in 3800 BC. This has nothing to do with this boardwalk but I thought it was cool: avalonmarshes.org/heritage/sweet-track
