Middleham · 1 checked & stamped
Boots on. These are the Middleham walks worth the drive, with lead rules and livestock warnings marked.
Six and three quarter miles in about three and a half hours, out over Middleham Low Moor where the racehorses work, past Tupgill Park to the ruins of Coverham Abbey, and back on woodland paths above the River Cover to Cover Bridge. Easy going on turf and track with one long steady climb of a little over 200 metres; start at Middleham market place below the castle, with free parking on the cobbles. Racehorses use the gallops every morning and have absolute right of way, so keep dogs on a short lead and well off the tracks before eleven o'clock; sheep graze the moor, and the Cover gives shady woodland and shallow water for a swim on the way back.
