隣村まで足にのばす。Best way to interpret this sentence?


隣村まで足にのばす。

隣村：the neighboring village 足：foot/leg のばす：aside from growing a beard...
stretch, extend...

The best I could think is that it's like a literary way of saying you're
heading out (extending your foot) to the neighboring village? I don't trust
myself to not miss some special meaning or usage though, so does anyone else
have some insight?

本当にありがとうございます！




隣村まで足にのばす doesn't make any sense.

足 **を** 伸ばす is a idiom that means "[go a little
further](http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E8%B6%B3%E3%82%92%E4%BC%B8%E3%81%B0%E3%81%99&ref=sa)".
