Off-lead allowed

A pocket-sized local nature reserve on the south-west edge of the city, giving a mile of woodland and meadow paths in twenty-five easy minutes; a remnant of genuinely ancient woodland with bluebells in May and shade in a heatwave. Park on Acomb Wood Drive or Foxwood Lane and walk straight in, or take the number 4 bus to Foxwood; there are no gates or stiles a big dog cannot manage. Dogs are off lead throughout with no livestock, but the reserve is small, popular and close to housing, so recall matters; the woodland paths get properly claggy after rain and this is not the one to pick in a wet January.

Livestock — leads on

Four and a quarter miles of flat lane and headland path around the fields between Appleton Roebuck and the Wharfe country north of Cawood, about an hour and three quarters with ten metres of ascent in the whole loop. Park on the wide green in the middle of Appleton Roebuck; there is no practical bus service, so come by car and make a morning of it with Bolton Percy church three miles away. This is straightforward arable country with gates rather than difficult stiles and long stretches of quiet lane where a reliable dog can walk loose, but sheep and cattle are grazed in the pasture blocks so lead up when you meet them; there is no open water on the route and the cross-field sections turn heavy after rain.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

Three miles of riverbank and old railway five miles south of the city, an hour and a quarter, level throughout apart from one flight of steps up to the railway path and two or three stiles that a heavy dog will need helping over. Start in Acaster Malbis where there is limited roadside parking and a pub car park for customers, and in summer the York City Cruises boat from Kings Staith will drop you at the village landing, which is far and away the best way to arrive. The riverside fields are grazed by cattle from spring to autumn, so leads on there and give any herd with calves a wide berth, and the Ouse offers a proper swim for a strong dog at the sandy pull-in below the village; the railway path stays hard and clean in winter while the riverbank turns to deep mud.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

Three and a half miles between the two Askham villages on the old Ainsty field paths west of the city, an hour and a half, flat farmland with several kissing gates, a couple of stiles and one stretch of lane without a footway. Start on the green at Askham Bryan, four miles from York, where there is roadside parking by the church and the number 4 bus from the city calls at the village edge; Askham Richard has a pond, a green and nothing else, which is the appeal. Arable fields dominate so there is less livestock here than on the ings, but sheep are put on the pasture near Askham Richard in winter and there is no water on the route at all; the paths are cropped headlands and go sticky rather than impassable, so this stays walkable most of the winter in wellingtons.

Livestock — leads on

Balne is drained peat moor turned to arable, and Balne Moor Road runs straight across the middle of it for well over a mile between Whitley and Pollington. This is a big-sky walk with almost nothing in the way: dead flat, wide verges, drainage dykes on both sides and hares in the stubble, and you can see a vehicle coming from half a mile off. It crosses working farmland so the Countryside Code rule holds, dog on a lead or in sight and on a lead around livestock, and the dykes are deep enough that a swimmer will need watching. There is no seasonal restriction and nowhere here that dogs are excluded; the only order that reaches this parish is the North Yorkshire fouling requirement, which carries a hundred-pound fixed penalty.

Furfields Dog Park

Sherburn in Elmet · LS25 5LX

A secure hire field of just over an acre behind Squires Bikers Cafe on Newthorpe Lane, a couple of miles east of Sherburn in Elmet. It is fenced to six feet and booked by the half hour or the hour in daylight, at six pounds for thirty minutes with up to three dogs and eleven pounds for the hour, rising to eight and fifteen pounds for four or five dogs; five dogs is the maximum in one session. Inside there are weave poles, runs, a sandpit, a swing ball, a shelter, picnic benches and drinking water on tap with bowls provided. Parking is directly outside for three or four cars with more off-street spaces nearby, dogs must not be left unattended, and the owners are honest that they cannot guarantee a determined escaper will not get out.

Every listing here carries the date a human confirmed it. Councils change beach rules and pubs change landlords, so when a stamp goes stale we go back rather than quietly leave it up.

Know one we have missed?

Tell us the pub we have not walked into yet.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.

Get the new stamps first.

One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
