West Tanfield River Walk is a gentle village and riverside route in North Yorkshire, following the River Ure through a scenic stretch of countryside. It offers a relaxed walk with a historic feel, with views across the river and easy access to the character of West Tanfield itself.
One of the best-known landmarks here is Marmion Tower, the surviving 15th-century gatehouse beside the river. Its presence gives the walk a distinctive local character, combining waterside views with a strong sense of history.
No livestock is currently noted for this route. Off-lead walking is noted as generally permitted, but please follow local signs and keep dogs close where needed, especially near the river, roads or other path users. Stiles may be present on the route, which could be awkward for some dogs.
Specific details on parking, terrain and facilities are not currently available, so it is worth checking local signage when you arrive and being prepared for riverside paths that may be uneven or muddy after wet weather.
