Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, 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.
The public bridleway that leaves Main Road at the Ropery Lane end of Weaverthorpe, next to the glamping site, and climbs straight south out of the Great Wold Valley onto the wold top. The whole village lays out below you within ten minutes of leaving the road. Ground and grass underfoot, field gates rather than stiles, and the right of way carries on south over the tops towards Cottam if you want more than the two and a half miles out and back described here. Arable and sheep pasture either side, and not a drop of water once you leave the village, so carry it.
Blue Bell is a place to stay on Main Road, Weaverthorpe. 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.
Weaverthorpe's second pub, overlooking the green at the western end of the village, reopened in 2026 under new ownership after a long refurbishment. Its own site lists dogs allowed alongside the beer garden, real fire, car park and accommodation, but stops short of saying which rooms of the building. Kitchen runs Thursday to Sunday only and the bar shuts at 7pm Monday to Wednesday, so it is an evening stop rather than a lunchtime one early in the week.
The Star is a pub in Weaverthorpe. 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.
