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.

Directions to the start →

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.

No reviews yet

A spacious Brunning and Price pub sitting end-on to the busy A59 between Harrogate and Killinghall, refurbished in 2022 with a large bar and plenty of seating kept back for drinkers. Dogs of the well-behaved, on-the-lead variety are welcome in the bar area, and the Corner Room is dog-friendly if you are booking a private table. Killinghall's other two pubs have both gone, so this is the village's dog-friendly option.
