Leyburn · 1 checked & stamped
Boots on. These are the Leyburn walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
Four and a half miles in a little over two hours along the wooded limestone terrace of the Shawl, with Wensleydale laid out below, dropping to the estate village of Wensley and returning by field paths; the going is level and easy apart from the descent. Start from Leyburn market place, where parking is free outside market days and the Little White Bus and the 156 both call. The first mile along the Shawl is a broad, safe, largely enclosed path where a dog with recall can have a proper run, but the fields towards Wensley are grazed and several stiles have no dog gate, so a big dog will need a lift over.
