Riverside castle and dog-friendly hotel, Cambridgeshire Close to the A1 and a civilised choice for a doggie B&B overnight stay, or just a quick break for a legstretch and snack. It's on the old Roman Ermine Street.
Traditional country inn and dog walk near Grantham, Leicestershire A visit to this practically feudal village with a magnificent country inn is well worth the diversion off the A1. The dog gets a good walk on a traditional Estate too.

A1 dog walk on the beach, Northumberland Dogs are allowed on the beach year round, and the red and white lighthouse is a striking landmark at the end of a distant jetty.
