Brubber Dale path There's no public footpath along Brubber Dale from the Thixendale Road, but on both sides of the road there is open access land. That to the north side is a virtual cul-de-sac as there is no footpath at the lower end, but on this up dale side there is a link through to the Wolds Way path.
