This is a short walk between two classic Yorkshire Dales pubs.

You can see why James Heriot was so fond of West Burton; it really is a thoroughly pleasant place and the same can be said about its pub, the Fox & Hounds. This walk takes us over pretty pasture to the little Dales village of Newbiggin and on to the alternative start at the Street Head Inn - another lovely pub. When you're refreshed, this walk will return you to West Burton via higher pasture.

Dog-owners please note, there are one or two dog-unfriendly stiles en route and sheep aplenty, so please keep them on a lead.

Just walked this route today, lovely short walk over the fields to Newbiggin. The Street Head Inn did an excellent ploughmans and a pint, although beware it is shut some lunchtimes, I think Monday and Tuesday but not certain. Good walk with the dog although our Labradoodle had to be lifted over a couple of gap stiles that were too narrow for her. Lots of sheep so need to take care. Took a detour on way back to the Forelands which gave an excellent view back over the pub.
