I believe the answer is:

alley

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a path' is the definition.
(alley is a kind of path)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for alley that I've seen before include "Bowling lane" , "Narrow passage" , "Narrow lane; type of cat" , "Passage between houses, perhaps" , "Marble" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
