Member-only story
When we picture the natural beauty of the United Kingdom, we imagine the deep waters of the Lake District, the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, or the towering peaks of Snowdonia and the Cairngorms. But the vast parks of North Yorkshire are unrivalled in their beauty and chronically under-appreciated by dog walkers. Whether you prefer the embracing hills of the Dales or the wild and woolly North York Moors, the dog walks in North Yorkshire have something for everyone.
The Best Dog Walks in North Yorkshire
Newtondale
Newtondale is a narrow valley in the heart of the North York Moors, a landscape carpeted by conifers. A 6-mile circular route winds its way from the valley floor up into beautiful woodland, laden with ferns and mosses. If your dog is a woodland explorer, this is the walk for you. The trail is verdant in summer, but in autumn, when the trees turn, the valley glitters with gold and amber hues.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway also runs through the area, so keep your eyes peeled for the wisps of steam as the trains trundle by.
