Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill.
The classic Thixendale round: out of the village north-east on the Centenary Way, up over the wold and down the long footpath into the valley at Wharram Percy, then back on the single-track road through Burdale. Wharram Percy is English Heritage land, free to walk into and open in daylight hours, and the roofless shell of St Martin's church sits in a grass hollow with the millpond below it. Nearly all of this is dry chalk valley - no beck, no standing water - so carry water for the dog even in mild weather. The last two and a half miles along the Burdale dale road are almost traffic-free and easy on tired paws.
