A stone-built village pub opposite Lastingham's remarkable Norman church, serving good honest Yorkshire pub food from nearby farms and producers. There are two restaurant areas, one of which allows dogs, so you can eat with your dog rather than being confined to the bar. A natural halt on the moorland path over from Hutton-le-Hole.

Five and three quarter miles with 220 metres of ascent and about two and a half hours, rising directly out of the village onto Spaunton Moor to the tall stone cross at Ana Cross and returning over Lastingham Knoll; the climb is steep for the first half mile and the moor path is peaty and wet in the hollows. It starts at St Mary's church in Lastingham, whose Norman crypt is worth ten minutes before you set off, and parking is limited to a handful of roadside spaces so an early arrival matters at weekends. The village springs and the moor becks provide water, and the moor is wide open ground for a dog that will come back, but sheep graze the village and the whole moor freely, and leads are needed on the open moor from 1 March to 31 July for ground-nesting birds.

A long-established country house hotel in ten acres of garden above Lastingham, a short stroll from St Mary's crypt. Well behaved pets are taken by prior arrangement for a nominal charge, though the house rules keep them out of the public rooms.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

An 8.7-mile village-to-village round with 190 metres of ascent, close to four hours, linking three of the prettiest settlements on the southern moors on field paths, green lanes and a short spell of moor edge. Start from the small car park in Lastingham beside St Mary's church, whose Norman crypt is worth ten minutes at the end; there is no bus of any use, so this is a car walk. Becks at Lastingham and Appleton give water, and dogs can run on the moor-edge tracks, but the field sections are full of sheep and stock-proof stiles, and leads are required on the open moor from 1 March to 31 July.
