Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and 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.

YO7 4NE

Directions to the start →

Five and a quarter miles across the flat carr land between Carlton Miniott and Thirsk, roughly two hours on field paths, farm track and quiet road with almost no ascent at all. Start at Carlton Miniott, which has roadside parking, Thirsk railway station and a regular bus into town if you would rather walk one way. This is low, wet ground that stays boggy well into spring, several field paths cross grazing, and the East Coast Main Line and its crossings run alongside, so a lead is essential near the railway.
