Aldbrough St John green and beck circuit

A short round from one of the largest village greens in the country, out west on the footpath along the north side of Aldbrough Beck and back on the path to the south, so it is a genuine loop rather than the same field twice. Under two miles, almost flat, and mostly grass and field-edge path rather than road, which makes it the best short walk in this cluster of villages for a dog that wants to be off the lead. There is no seasonal dog ban and no lead order in Aldbrough St John, because North Yorkshire's seasonal controls apply only to parts of Scarborough, Filey and Whitby. Fouling is the one enforced offence, at a £50 fixed penalty in the Richmondshire area and up to £1,000 on conviction.
