The Tees floodbank from Croft Bridge

Croft-on-Tees village and Croft Spa circuit

A short circuit from the south end of Croft Bridge that takes in the whole of the village: down the A167 past St Peter's Church, out along Richmond Road, back on the field path towards Spa Bank where the old spa wells were, and home along South Parade beside the Tees. There is no seasonal dog ban anywhere here, because North Yorkshire Council's seasonal dog control measures cover only parts of Scarborough, Filey and Whitby. What does apply is the fouling offence: fail to pick up on land the public have access to and it is a £50 fixed penalty in the Richmondshire area, up to £1,000 on conviction. The A167 stretch by the bridge carries fast traffic on a narrow pavement, so this is a lead-on start whatever your dog is like.
