Dog-friendly walks in Welton

Welton Dale and Welton Wold Circular

The National Trail's own short circuit from Welton village green, climbing gently out of the beck valley on part of the Yorkshire Wolds Way and returning down the dry chalk valley of Welton Dale. It is the prettiest three and a half miles at the southern end of the Wolds: beech hanger on both sides of the dale, a folly wall, and a long view back down to the Humber from the top of the wold. National Trails grades it easy, with gentle gradients and no stiles, and the Green Dragon on Cowgate is at the finish. The dale bottom is working sheep pasture, which is the one thing to plan for with a dog.
