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 →

Six miles up the Wharfe to Newton Kyme and back over higher ground on bridleways, two and three quarter hours, easy going with no steep hills, no stiles at all and one wet stretch on the riverside meadow. The easiest start is the free car park at Tadcaster bus station, and the 843 coach between Leeds and York stops in the town, so you can do this without a car. Cattle are often in the riverside fields although electric fences usually keep them off the path itself, and a cow with a calf is the one thing here worth planning around, so keep a lead handy; the Wharfe gives a dog a good drink and a swim at the gravel shallows below Newton Kyme, and the whole riverside becomes impossible when the river is in flood, which it is several times each winter.

THE SMALL PRINTCattle in the riverside fields; leads on there. The riverside half is impassable when the Wharfe is in flood.
