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 rewarding town-and-river circuit beneath the great Norman keep of Richmond Castle, following the Swale past Richmond Falls and along the grassy riverside meadows of The Batts. Mostly enclosed riverside paths where dogs can stretch their legs, with the falls a favourite paddling spot in low water; keep dogs close near the weirs and when the river runs high. Dog-friendly pubs and the Station cafe are moments away.
