Perambulate (intransitive verb)
\
puh-RAM-byuh-layt\



Definitions:

1.To walk through or over.
2.To travel over for the purpose of surveying or inspecting.

Use in context:

If you don't like boats -- and it's surprising how many people who come here don't like boats -- you can perambulate the shoreline, take a swim, sit in the lounge and read, or do nothing more than sit on the dock

Every weekend, the police close off ten to fifteen blocks of some Manhattan avenue. The merchants line the curbs, and the New Yorkers slowly perambulate up and down.
