A great place for a dog walk, whether you're making a doggiestop on your journey or just looking for somewhere new to walk.
Everyone can find something of interest in this small Northumberland village.
There's something dramatic about taking the dog for a walk around a Roman fort close to Hadrian's Wall. You've got to wonder if there are any ancient doggie sniffs for the pooch to savour.
Parking in Hexham can be a horror story, so this is a relaxed and tranquil oasis of riverside calm.
At one time this was the northernmost town in the Roman Empire and hugely important. Today it's a breath of fresh air after the crowds in nearby Corbridge and well worth a visit.
Woodland dog walks, an ancient glacial lake and lots of things for the family to enjoy makes this country park a good bet for a holiday visit or a quick doggie stop from the A69.
Lovely secluded woodland in an almost hidden valley close to the centre of Newcastle. Your dog can run freely (except at the children's zoo) with woodland and over a mile of footpaths.
Avoid this one in peak tourist season, but definitely try for a stop here at quieter times of the year. The town has plenty of dog-friendly shops and a surprisingly large park just behind the centre.
On the rainswept day we were here it was hard to imagine Roman soldiers getting excited about Mithraic rituals here, let alone bull sacrifices and pagan fun.
Good place for a family and dog stop, and good value if you're an English Heritage member. Otherwise it can be pricey for what it is.
First up, this is a hugely popular town in tourist season and if there are no spaces in the car park then you're better off heading for one of the dog-friendly Roman towns or the Wall instead.
