Stunning dale to the east of Huggate lined by Oxland Plantation on one side and a clear ridgeline with big sky on the other. Linked to Cow, Shortlands and Rabbit Dales, which are all perfect for any hiking route around Huggate.

A very short and twisty little dale that becomes Oxlands Dale and then Cow Dale as you approach the village of Huggate from the east.

Probably the largest and most spectacular dale in the Yorkshire Wolds and simply unmissable. Emerging at the top of the dale when travelling north along the public footpath past Northfield Farm is breathtaking. It is possible to walk to the west along the southern ridgeline of Horse Dale to pick up the northbound bridleway or southbound footpath at the end of the dale, even though this is not marked as a public right of way on the East Riding of Yorkshire Public Rights of Way Map - https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/4ba3481cedba4b2c906cbd117f5bb5f1 - it is open access land - https://test.yorkramblers.org.uk/Region8/Region8a.html
