90%OFF-ROAD
Off-lead allowed

Three and a half miles of woodland and old railway on the north edge of Harrogate, about an hour and three quarters, with one steep set of steps down into the beck valley and a steady climb back out. Start from the Nidderdale Greenway access off Bilton Lane, where there is free roadside parking and the number 2A bus reaches Bilton from the town centre; the Greenway itself is tarmac and stays clean in any weather, which is the point of it. Dogs are off lead all the way through the Woodland Trust ground at Bilton Beck and Rudding Bottoms, there is no livestock, and the beck runs clear enough to drink from all year, though the woodland floor turns to deep mud between November and March while the viaduct crossing stays firm underfoot.

Four miles and about two hours from the top of the Valley Gardens out through Cardale Woods to the gritstone outcrop of Birk Crag, returning down the wooded ravine of Oak Beck, with roughly 100 metres of climbing on rooty woodland paths that hold mud through the winter. Start from the Harlow Carr end of Valley Gardens or the roadside parking on Cornwall Road; the 6 and 24 buses both put you within a few minutes' walk. The woods are the best off-lead ground within walking distance of Harrogate town centre and Oak Beck gives a clean drink, but the crag itself drops away suddenly, so call a dog back well before the top.

Six miles round both of the great head-of-dale reservoirs, crossing the Scar House dam, running west along the shore track to the older Angram dam and returning on rough moorland paths on the north side, with steep pulls, several stiles and boggy ground after rain. Start from Yorkshire Water's free car park by the Scar House dam, reached on the private toll-free road up from Lofthouse; there are toilets and picnic tables at the car park and the DalesBus 821 reaches Lofthouse on summer Sundays. Sheep graze the whole valley and curlew and golden plover nest on the moor, so dogs are on the lead throughout and should not drink from or swim in either reservoir.

Two miles each way of fully surfaced, traffic-free path along the Nidd from High Bridge in Knaresborough out to Bilton Hall Drive, resurfaced in 2013 and effectively flat, which makes it one of the few routes in the district that stays clean and firm right through winter. Start at High Bridge on the Ripon Road below the town, five minutes from Knaresborough station, and at the far end it links straight into Bilton Lane and the Nidderdale Greenway for a longer day. Named after the Yorkshire cycling champion, it is shared with bikes and horses and passes fields of grazing horses and a couple of cattle grids, so keep dogs on the lead and close in; the surface is kind on old joints and takes a buggy or wheelchair without complaint.

Two and a half miles over the river and round the hamlet of Bewerley, an hour and a quarter, flat riverside meadow and a short lane climb into the village with a handful of gates and one stile. Start from Southlands car park at the bottom of Pateley Bridge high street, pay and display but cheap, and the number 24 bus from Harrogate stops on Nidd Walk a minute away. The fifteenth-century Grange Chapel sits behind a gate in the village and is worth the two-minute detour; the meadow between the bridge and Bewerley carries sheep for most of the year, so leads on there, but the Nidd below Pateley Bridge is shallow, gravelly and perfect for a dog to lie down in on a hot day, and the riverside path stays passable through winter although it will be muddy.

Start by the church in Birstwith where there is limited roadside parking, or catch the 24 bus from Harrogate to the village end. The Nidd here is shallow and gravelly and makes a fine swim for a dog that likes water, but the meadows are grazed and cut for hay, so leads on through the fields and give the riverside anglers room.

Spofforth · HG3 1DA
No reviews yet

The ruined fortified manor of the Percy family, standing free to enter at the edge of Spofforth village. English Heritage welcomes dogs on leads across the site, and it makes a good ten-minute detour on a walk in from the old railway line.

Every listing here carries the date a human confirmed it. Councils change beach rules and pubs change landlords, so when a stamp goes stale we go back rather than quietly leave it up.

Know one we have missed?

Tell us the pub we have not walked into yet.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.

Get the new stamps first.

One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
