Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

A leg-stretch rather than a day out, and about all that Burythorpe offers on its own. West out of the village on the lane past All Saints, onto the public bridleway that cuts north-west across the fields - it is signed at the road but the line across the grass is faint and worth a map - then south on the single-track lane and back into the village from the bottom end. Just over a mile of it. Long views west to the Howardian Hills across the Derwent, and nothing at all to drink on the way round.

THE SMALL PRINTRoughly three quarters of this is single-track lane at the national speed limit with no footway, so short lead on tarmac. The bridleway crosses grazed grass and its line is poorly trodden. No Public Spaces Protection Order applies in Burythorpe parish, so there is no seasonal ban or lead order, only the Countryside Code duty around livestock.
