Skipwith Common

As well as our own short dog walk and dog exercise paddock there is also Skipwith Common, which is a very short drive away (Please keep your dog on the lead as they have sheep, cattle & ponies grazing).  If you want to let your dog off the lead, there is a new area shown on the following website: http://www.escrick.org/village/the-canine-car-park-and-walk/

Below is a list of local pubs, gardens and places to visit which accept dogs on leads.  Please check their websites prior to visiting (as some also have events taking place including filming etc).
