Terrain: Please note the routes are over varied terrain, including stiles, and some areas can be uneven. For this reason we recommend you contact us to discuss any mobility issues. Both routes do include some steeper slopes and the longer route particularly can be quite challenging.

Other Facilities: Toilets, cafe, gift shop
More: This is a great opportunity to explore the stunning Temple Newsam, a country estate in the city of Leeds. The walk starts and finishes at the historic Tudor-Jacobean house and takes in the beautiful Rhododendron Walk and surrounding scenic parkland. There will be fun activities to do along the routes with our exclusive walker pack and games to enjoy before and after the walk, so get your tickets and we look forward to seeing you there!
Because of the number of dogs expected, we do ask that dogs are kept on lead for the duration of the walk.

“Since having Marshall my life keeps getting better and better. His uniform indicates that I’m deaf and this gives me confidence. Whereas before, I would avoid talking to people, now I’m far less anxious about not understanding them so I no longer hide away in the shadows.”
– Joanna and Marshall
Please take part in the Great British Dog Walk and help more deaf people like Joanna to leave loneliness behind.
"The Great British Dog Walk is a fantastic opportunity to get yourself or your dog sponsored to raise vital funds to help deaf people leave loneliness behind." - Rachel Riley, TV presenter
