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 →

Byram Park Road runs east out of the village along the edge of what was the Ramsden family's park, laid out to a plan Capability Brown drew in 1782 and long since ploughed back to farmland, though the lake and the kitchen garden survive on private ground. The walk is the lane itself: tarmac, level, pavement for the first few hundred yards out of Sutton and then verge only, with open arable on both sides and the A1 audible to the west. There is no dog control order covering this parish beyond the North Yorkshire fouling requirement and its £100 penalty, so no lead order and no exclusion applies, but the park is private and everything either side of the lane is somebody's field. Turn round at the field gates where the metalled lane runs out.

THE SMALL PRINTA working lane with no pavement past the last houses, and the former Byram Park either side is private farmland with no public access off the road.
