Dog-friendly Newport

A large wood-panelled and beamed pub on Main Road at the eastern end of Newport, roomier than the Jolly Sailor down the street and the better bet if you want space at a table with a wet dog. Newport was built on the brickyards the Market Weighton Canal was dug to serve, and the canal trail and Broomfleet Washlands are both within a mile and a half. CAMRA records the pub as dog friendly with no area excluded, surveyed most recently in October 2024. That is a branch survey rather than the pub's own words.

The southern half of the Market Weighton Canal Trail, leaving the canal bridge in Newport and following the cut dead straight across Wallingfen and the Broomfleet levels to the eighteenth-century Weighton Lock, where the canal drops into the Humber opposite Whitton Island. It is completely flat, largely unshaded, and the reed fringe holds kingfishers, herons and marsh harriers over Broomfleet Washlands. The trail's own guidance says dogs are welcome the whole way but asks that they are kept out of the ponds and reed beds and on a lead where signs say so, because parts of the bank are grazed. Parts are single file and there are kissing gates at Sand Lane and the Washlands.
