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.
Three and a half miles out and back from East Cowton up the old Pepper Arden road to South Cowton Castle and St Mary's church, an easy hour and a half almost entirely on a hard-core farm track. Start in the village near the Beeswing, where there is roadside parking; the firm track takes a pushchair and makes this the most reliable wet-weather walk in the north of the patch. The optional field return below the castle hill has a couple of stiles and a water meadow worth watching for heron and mallard, and there is stock on that pasture, so leads on for the loop.
Beeswing Inn is a pub in East Cowton. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
