Dog-friendly walks in Huggate

Huggate to Millington Dale on the Yorkshire Wolds Way

Huggate is the highest village in the Wolds and has the deepest pond and the deepest well, and the Yorkshire Wolds Way runs right past the green outside the Wolds Inn. Going south the trail drops into Horse Dale and Holm Dale, a pair of steep-sided chalk valleys with no road, no house and no phone signal, and comes out on the Millington Dale road under the pastures. Taken out and back it is a proper hill walk on grass and chalk track with two stiff climbs and no water anywhere along it. The dale bottoms are grazed by sheep and much of the ground either side is access land where a short lead is required from March to July.
