Dog-friendly walks in Elvington

Three miles of flat field path and lane out of Elvington to the River Derwent and back, an hour and a quarter of gentle going with only about ten metres of climbing in the whole route. Start from Main Street in the village where there is roadside parking near the bridge, and the number 46 bus from York stops in Elvington; the Yorkshire Air Museum makes an obvious pairing for the drive. The riverbank gives dogs a drink and a shallow entry, the lanes are quiet enough for a good dog to walk loose, and there are no stiles, but the fields are worked and often have stock so keep the lead handy; the low-lying sections beside the Derwent hold water badly and this is a summer and autumn walk rather than a January one.
