Russell's Tea Room is a real restaurant in Thornton le Dale, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.
If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Claim this page.

A 4.2-mile waymarked forest loop with 100 metres of ascent and a shade under two hours, following Dalby Beck upstream on wide forest road before climbing gently onto the rigg and dropping back; the going is gravel and forest track throughout, which makes it a reliable choice when everything else in Ryedale is under water. It starts at the Dalby Forest visitor centre at Low Dalby, reached by the toll Forest Drive from Thornton-le-Dale where a car pays a day charge at the barrier, so this is not a walk to arrive at on a whim. Dalby Beck runs alongside for two miles with easy access for drinking and splashing, there is no livestock at all, and dogs may be off the lead on the trail, though the forest is worked and the drive itself carries slow but constant traffic.
Over 8,500 acres of Forestry England woodland in the southern moors, entered via the toll road from Thornton-le-Dale, with waymarked walking trails from easy-access lakeside strolls at Low Dalby to all-day forest hikes. Dogs are welcome and can run off lead on the forest tracks under control - keep them close near the visitor centre, cyclists and wildlife areas. Open daily 8am to 8pm, with a cafe and facilities at the visitor centre.
The gentlest of the Dalby waymarked routes at 3.4 miles with only 40 metres of ascent and about an hour and a half, running south-west down the valley towards Ellerburn on level forest road with one short rise back to the centre. It begins at Low Dalby visitor centre, where the pay-and-display is included in the Forest Drive toll, and the centre has a cafe, toilets and outside water taps that make it an easy first stop of the day. The beck is close for most of the way, the surface is kind on old joints and puppy paws alike, and there is no stock and no stile on the whole route, so a dog can be off the lead the entire way with only forestry vehicles and cyclists to watch for.
Nobody has written one for Russell's Tea Room. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
