Hardcastle Crags
Hardcastle Crags Is Based In Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. It Is A National Trust Woodland Which Is Very Well Maintained. The Walk Is Easy But Can Be A Little Precarious Negotiating The Stones Which Have Been Set Out For Steps. It Is A Circulator Walk Which Is Fabulous For Dogs And Incorporates A Wonderful Cafe At Gibson Mill (Dog Friendly On Quieter Days With Seating Outside If Busy). There Is A Beautiful Shallow River Running Through The Woodland Which Is A Haven For Dogs. Highly Recommend This Walk!

Penistone Hill Haworth
Penistone Hill Is Fabulous For Off Lead Dog Walks. We Usually Do An Evening Walk Of 1-2 Miles With Our Pup, But Every Day We Discover New Paths To Explore. You Can Park Your Car &Amp; Let The Dog Straight Out. It Is Muddy So Wellies Are Advisable &Amp; Something To Dry The Dog With. There Are Lots Of Dog Walkers In The Area, But If You Want To Avoid Them It's Easy Because There Are So Many Paths You Can Just Change Direction. Most Dogs &Amp; Owners Are Friendly &Amp; Ours Loves To Run Around With Doggy Friends. A Couple Of Times We've Met Horses, But You Can Usually Spot Them In Plenty Of Time To Get Your Dog On The Lead.
