The Gallon Walk is a popular walk that is best known for its social nature. Traditionally it is a route where walkers walk 8 miles and visit 8 different pubs, with the opportunity to drink 8 pints of beer along the way.

Some versions of the Gallon Walk, such as the Cockers Gallon Walk, are also used as a fundraising event.

The route often passes through rural areas, such as the North York Moors National Park, offering walkers a mix of beautiful rural and possibly historic environments.
