Genuine, nice and dog-friendly inn with plenty of history behind it. We thought the meals were great value, and definitely recommend their Fish Fridays. Easy to get to from the M6/20 and the A56 too
Junction 21
This is a park that has seen some history, and yet survived to be an incredibly quiet and peaceful dog walking venue.

Junction 35
The woodland is great for dogs, with no stiles and plenty to occupy the canine nose.

Junction 36
There's a definite northerly feel to the air up here, and even in summer this walk on Public Footpaths feels cool - if not chilly. Dog swimming is possible in the stream at the foot of the hill.
Junction 36
A Devil's Bridge, connections to Turner landscapes, and local and visiting dogs having a brilliant time in the water together. What a great place to take a break.
