Dog-friendly Osmotherley

An 18th-century inn on Osmotherley's market cross that has fed generations of Cleveland Way, Coast to Coast and Lyke Wake walkers. Dogs are welcome in the dining area, with water bowls provided, plus shaded seating out front and a grassed beer garden behind. The cooking is a cut above standard walkers' fare.

A traditional village pub hotel on West End with a real fire, pub games and a loyal local crowd, reputedly the only pub in England named for Catherine of Aragon. It is thoroughly dog friendly in the bar and offers dog-friendly bedrooms, making it a practical overnight halt on the Cleveland Way or Coast to Coast. Cod Beck Reservoir is a short stroll up the lane.

A serious 10.3-mile day with 400 metres of ascent, close to five hours, climbing on to Scarth Wood Moor and then following the old Hambleton Drove Road south over the shoulder of Black Hambleton; broad stony tracks for most of it, with wet peat between. Start from Osmotherley village green, where there is a small pay-and-display car park and buses from Northallerton. Cod Beck and the reservoir give water in the first mile but there is almost none after that, sheep range the whole of the drove road, and leads are required on the open moor from 1 March to 31 July for ground-nesting birds.

A gentle 1.2-mile circuit of a tree-fringed moorland reservoir just north of Osmotherley, on a wide, well-surfaced and largely gated path that suits dogs of all ages - many walk it off lead. Leads go back on where the route touches open moor and the Cleveland Way, as sheep graze right up to the water in places. Free parking at the reservoir and in the village, which has toilets and a shop.

Under three miles but with 137 metres of climb, this loop from Osmotherley village green takes the South End climb and drops back along the edge above the Mount Grace woods in about an hour and a half. Start at the medieval market cross on the green, where there is a small village car park and pubs on the square. The stone and grass going means a fit dog can be off the lead on the climb, but the upper section is open access land with a seasonal lead rule and the fields below the edge are grazed.

A sheltered valley holiday park just above Osmotherley village, with touring pitches, camping and hire caravans a short walk from both the pubs and Cod Beck Reservoir. On-lead dogs are welcome across the park (maximum two in the pet-friendly hire caravans), with a dog wash provided, though dogs are not allowed inside the park buildings. The Cleveland Way passes virtually along the site boundary.

England's best preserved Carthusian monastery, set in woodland under the Cleveland escarpment near Osmotherley. Dogs on a short lead are welcome in every outdoor space, including the reconstructed monk's cell garden and the Arts and Crafts grounds.
