Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, 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.

Two flat miles of ancient common grassland between Acomb and the racecourse, an easy forty-five minutes on mown grass with a surfaced spine path that stays perfectly walkable in January when the ings are drowned. Walk in from Little Hob Moor off Tadcaster Road or from Green Lane in Acomb, both a short step from the frequent Tadcaster Road buses, and there is free street parking on the Acomb side. Dogs run off lead here every morning of the year, but cattle graze the moor through the summer months and calves are the real hazard, so keep a lead handy and walk round a herd rather than through it; there is no open water, so bring your own in a heatwave.
