The Harland Way: Wetherby to Spofforth Railway Walk

Welcome to Yorkshire

Inspiration • November 11th, 2021

There are so many dog walks on the Harland Way. These are my favourite kinds of walk as they have lots of hills to go up and throw my ball down!

For this one, you park in the old Wetherby Railway Station Car Park - on the Linton side of Wetherby. The path leads directly from here towards Spofforth.

This path is wide and good for walkers, kids, dogs and cyclists. There is a variety of routes to take and many crossroads to turn different ways!

The paths are well sign posted and have railway bridges crossing over the top. As it opens up towards Spofforth you'll get a glimpse of Spoffoth Castle.

Try the Castle Pub in Spofforth for a dog friendly pub for lunch, if you fancy turning this three mile walk into a six mile circuit, you can loop back and try Kofi and Co in Wetherby - they have the best brunch around and a great selection of smoothies.
