A mile and a half of circuit paths around 60-odd acres of woodland, heath and open grass on the northern edge of Harrogate, flat enough to do in half an hour and popular with local walkers in every weather, though a few stretches wash out and turn muddy after heavy rain. There is a free car park off Grainbeck Lane with a height barrier, and the 36 bus between Harrogate and Ripon stops in Killinghall village five minutes away. This is one of the few places in the district where a dog can genuinely run free: no livestock, no roads through it and plenty of open ground, but bring your own water because there are no taps or cafes on site.
