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.

Starts at
Main Street, Leavening, outside the Jolly Farmers (YO17 9SA), walking north onto Malton Road YO17 9SA
Parking
Considerate roadside parking on Main Street and Malton Road. There is no public car park in Leavening and the street is narrow, so do not block the passing places.
Directions to the start →

A short farmland round linking the two villages at the foot of the Wolds escarpment. North out of Leavening on Malton Road, right onto the field track that climbs east, then onto a public footpath signposted at both ends which drops through arable land into Burythorpe by the church. The return is a single-track lane west of the fields with almost no traffic. Open ploughland and grass headlands the whole way, big views north to the Howardian Hills, and no beck, pond or trough anywhere on it - this is chalk country and the water all runs underground.

THE SMALL PRINTWorking arable and stock farmland with no open access land. Sheep are grazed on parts of the route, so a lead through any field with animals in it. Two short stretches of lane where cars come round blind bends at speed. There is no Public Spaces Protection Order in Leavening or Burythorpe parish - North Yorkshire Council's dog control order covers only the Scarborough, Whitby and Filey area.
