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.

A level three-mile circular from Tower Gardens along New Walk — the tree-lined riverside promenade laid out in the 1730s — over the Millennium Bridge and back past Rowntree Park on the far bank. Keep dogs on leads on the busy promenade and park stretches; the grassy banks by the bridge are good for a sniff about. Dog-friendly refuelling bookends the route: Dyls at Skeldergate Bridge and the Reading Cafe in Rowntree Park.
