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

A former drovers' inn high above the Rye valley, and the obvious stop after a haul over Hawnby Hill. Well behaved dogs are welcome in the bar and the garden, and a handful of the guest rooms take them too, so a walking weekend need not mean kennels.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs in the bar and garden areas and in selected guest rooms only, not in the restaurant.

Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.

Is this your pub?

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.

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on

Seven and a quarter miles with 320 metres of ascent and about three and a half hours, climbing from the beck onto Hawnby Moor and following the old shooting track past the lonely farmstead at Bumper Castle before dropping back into Bilsdale; the moor track is firm but the field paths at either end are heavy and there are several awkward stiles. It starts in the hamlet of Fangdale Beck on the Bilsdale road four miles north of Hawnby, where parking is a couple of roadside spaces by the bridge, so arrive early or park considerately in Hawnby and walk in. The beck gives water at the start and finish, the moor track is fine open running for a dog, but this is grouse moor with free-ranging sheep and important nesting habitat, so leads on the moor from 1 March to 31 July.

Easterside Farm is a place to stay in Hawnby. 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.

Livestock — leads on

A short, sharp 2.6-mile round with 130 metres of climbing, about an hour and a quarter, up the bracken flank of a perfect little whaleback hill and along its heather crest for one of the best views in Ryedale. Start from the small parking area in Hawnby village below the Inn at Hawnby; there is no public transport worth the name, so drive, and the lane in from Helmsley is single track. There is no water on the hill so carry a bowl, the summit ridge is grazed by hardy sheep, and leads are required on this open access land from 1 March to 31 July for ground-nesting birds.
