English term or phrase: Ambulatory
A passage that extends the side aisles to form a semicircular corridor around the choir, often with chapels radiating from it.
Commonly found in Cluniac and Burgundian Romanesque churches, such as the abbey church of Cluny III (circa 1095), of which only the capitals survive.

koromgang
Explanation:
I have found koromgang in Broby-Johansen's kunstordbog:
Koromgang: processionsgang omkring højkoret i en kirke.

Munksgaard's engelsk-dansk ordbog has korgang

but Gyldendal has koromgang like Broby-Johansen.

My first thought was buegang, which is another option, but that is normally called a cloister in English.
