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.

A flat 3.5-mile circuit of riverside floodplain meadows just downstream of Clifton Bridge, and one of York's favourite off-lead romps along the Ouse. Cattle graze parts of the Ings in summer, so read the field before unclipping and lead up around stock — there are alternative paths to route around a herd. These are working flood washlands: after heavy rain the whole area can be underwater, so check conditions first.
