North Yorkshire - A Dog Walker's Guidebook

by: Corina Inverno
North Yorkshire is a dog walker's paradise. On offer are ancient paths, heather-clad moors, picturesque dales, woodland, beaches and pretty villages. Using this book there is also the chance to visit the grounds of Castle Howard, the North York Moors preserved railway, the White Horse at Sutton Bank, the Water Gardens in Studley Royal Park and the beach at Whitby. Along the way there are also plenty of opportunities for off-lead romps, paddles and swims. The 20 dog-friendly circular walks in this book vary in length from 2 to 7.75 miles.

All the walks include details of dog factors such as livestock and stiles, recommended dog friendly pubs and cafes and contact details for the nearest vets.
