WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

A sheltered courtyard cafe off Bedale Market Place doing home-baked scones and sourdough pizzas, and a proper sun trap when the weather obliges. Dogs are welcome and the kitchen keeps dog ice cream for them, which is not a claim many Vale of Mowbray cafes can make. Daytime opening only.

Is this your restaurant?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Easy 3.1-mile beckside circular from Bedale market place along tree-lined waterside footpaths, passing the curious eighteenth-century harbour, a canal basin complete with mooring rings from Bedale's abandoned waterway scheme, plus a small waterfall and the Georgian leech house. Level going that suits all dogs, finishing among the town's cobbles where the Green Dragon keeps gravy bones. Watch for wildfowl on the beck.

Livestock — leads on

Four and a quarter miles of flat field paths, farm track and short lane sections between Bedale market place and Crakehall, allowing a shade under two hours; the going is easy but the field edges hold water for days after rain and there are up to six stiles. Start from Bedale market place, where there is parking, or arrive at Bedale station on the Wensleydale Railway a few minutes away on foot. Much of the route crosses working pasture with sheep and cattle so lead work is needed through the stock fields, the stiles are the awkward step type a heavy dog will need lifting over, and Bedale Beck and Rand Beck both give a drink.

Livestock — leads on

Three and a half miles out to the old green at Exelby and back, an hour and a half, flat field paths and quiet lanes with a handful of gates and one field that turns to porridge after rain. Start from Bedale Market Place beneath the market cross, where parking is free for two hours, and the 73 bus between Northallerton and Bedale stops on the main street. Sheep graze the fields between the two villages so leads go on across the pasture, and there is no reliable water on the route until you are back at Bedale Beck; the lane sections keep it doable in winter but the field paths are heavy going from December onwards, and Exelby's wide green is a pleasant place to let a dog stretch out under supervision.
