Dog-friendly walks in Carlton Miniott

Carlton Miniott to Thirsk across the Flats

Five and a quarter miles across the flat carr land between Carlton Miniott and Thirsk, roughly two hours on field paths, farm track and quiet road with almost no ascent at all. Start at Carlton Miniott, which has roadside parking, Thirsk railway station and a regular bus into town if you would rather walk one way. This is low, wet ground that stays boggy well into spring, several field paths cross grazing, and the East Coast Main Line and its crossings run alongside, so a lead is essential near the railway.
