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 →

Five miles from the edge of Northallerton into the small pastoral valley of Dibdale and up to the hilltop hamlet of Bullamoor, about two and a half hours with three stiles, ten gates and the only real inclines within reach of the town. Start at the Crosby Road car park; the railway station is a ten-minute walk and the Fox and Hounds at Bullamoor sits roughly halfway round. Dibdale Beck and the footbridge in Droppingwell Wood give water and shade and the wood is a decent off-lead stretch, but the fields either side are grazed and the lane into Bullamoor carries farm traffic.
