After the canal basin the path is on a busy road - not ideal with a nervy collie. But stick with it and in five minutes you are on an idyllic tow path complete with bird watching hides looking over the neighbouring wetlands. Easily accessible from Ripon centre.
Beautiful Riverside and woodland walk. We stopped off on a Saturday and it was not busy, just a few other dog walkers. Safe for the dogs to run off lead and play in the river. We walked for an hour but you could go much further as there is a network of paths onto nearby fields as well. There is a picnic area in the car park but nicer to head down to the river and have your picnic there.

Very busy in good weather
We've been here twice - once in November when it was perfect. Big open spaces for dogs to run, easy parking and a good cafe. Then we went on a sunny September Saturday and it was full to bursting with people having picnics etc - not safe to let a labrador off lead 😂. The cafe was also very busy and we had to wait for ages to be served
