Footpath works, though generally when saying footpath I mean a path that is not by the side of a road (like one that cuts between some houses to get to the road at the other side) also known as a guinnel or snicket (though I don't use either myself), or for horses it's a bridleway.
to be honest most people I know just say "path" as opposed to pavement... pavement is reserved for saying things like "pavement artist"
