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.
Ancient woodland on York's eastern edge managed by Forestry England, with a four-kilometre loop of wide rides that turn blue with bluebells each spring. Dogs can be off lead for nearly all of it, with just the arable field margins along the access lanes needing care in cropping season. Free parking on Intake Lane from Dunnington or on Hagg Lane; expect mud after rain.
The Hiller Garden and Plant Centre is a place to eat in Dunnington. 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.
A large pub on Hull Road at Dunnington with its own published dog-friendly page, so dogs are welcome inside as well as in the garden. Traditional pub food is served through the day and there are bed and breakfast rooms upstairs. Hagg Wood and the Dunnington field paths are close by.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
