Walks in: North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire

Explore the vast and captivating landscapes of North Yorkshire, England's largest county, offering an incredible variety of dog walks for every taste. From dramatic moorlands and rolling dales to stunning coastline and historic market towns, this region is a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and their canine companions.

Discover the wild beauty of the North York Moors National Park, where you can roam across heather-clad expanses, wander through ancient woodlands like Dalby Forest, or explore picturesque coastal villages like Robin Hood's Bay and Staithes. To the west, the iconic Yorkshire Dales National Park presents a different charm with its limestone formations, spectacular waterfalls like Aysgarth Falls and Janet's Foss, and serene riverside trails.

Whether you're tackling a section of the Cleveland Way along the coast, enjoying a gentle stroll around the City of York's historic walls (with care for crowds), or embarking on a challenging hike in the Dales, North Yorkshire provides endless opportunities for memorable adventures with your dog.

Remember to always follow the Countryside Code, keeping your dog under close control, especially around livestock (which is prevalent in both National Parks) and ground-nesting birds, to preserve the natural beauty and working landscapes of this magnificent county.
