WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

A community-owned Swaledale local with an open fire and stone-flagged floors that shrug off muddy boots, in the village below Kisdon Hill. Well-behaved dogs on leads are always welcome, which matters here because Muker is the gateway to the hay meadows and the Pennine Way to Keld. Closed Mondays, and food is cooked to order so allow time.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs must be kept on a lead inside the pub. Note the surrounding meadows and fells are working sheep country.

Is this your pub?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Muker Tea Shop is a place to eat in Muker. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.

Livestock — leads on

Five and a half miles and about two and three quarter hours down the Swale from Muker, over the swaying footbridge at Ramps Holme and along the riverside to the single high arch of Ivelet Bridge, returning on the walled track along the lower slope of Muker Side; the riverside is flat and easy, the return track stony. Start at the Muker village car park behind the Farmers Arms, which is small and fills by mid-morning in summer. The Swale gives good drinking the whole way and there is a broad shingle bank near Ivelet where a dog can swim, though the pool under the bridge itself is deep and the current pulls, and meadows and pasture are grazed throughout so the lead stays on; the walls between Muker and Ramps Holme are crossed by the same brutally narrow squeeze stiles as the Thwaite path, and a big dog will need lifting through several of them.

Livestock — leads on

Six and a quarter miles and around three and a half hours: flagged meadow paths out of Muker, a riverside track up the Swale past Crackpot Hall and Swinner Gill, then the Pennine Way back over the flank of Kisdon Hill. Park in the village car park behind the Farmers Arms; there is no other parking in Muker and the lane in is single track. The famous hay meadows are reached through a series of very narrow stone squeeze stiles that a broad-chested Labrador or a bull breed simply will not fit through, so this is a walk for slim or liftable dogs; sheep graze the whole route, so keep dogs on the lead throughout and take care above the drops at Kisdon Force.
