Family and dog-friendly walk and pub in Epping Forest close to M11 Junction 5. If a pub doesn't appeal, we've found a free car park close by and you can find picnic supplies in the town.
Astonishingly old pub that even gets a mention in the Domesday Book. Happily the food and service is well up to date. Less than a mile from the M11 junction.
Family-run pub with good food very close to the M11 junction, Stanstead airport, and the dog-friendly motel nearby.
Over a thousand acres of ancient woodland, with several car parks, cafe and limitless picnic spots.
If you're looking for a pretty pub to meet up with friends, or just to get out of the car before Cambridge this is one to put on the 'to try' list.
Splendid Victorian gardens and parkland near the M11 which will guarantee wagging tails. Make sure you have your English Heritage card with you to avoid the parking charge.
A village with two dog-friendly pubs and a good dog walk as long as you like, really close to the M11/A11.
A pawfect summer pub with a big garden and pub games. No dog walk, but dog-friendly and great for families too.
A chance to walk along part of the oldest road in Britain or take the pooch for a gentle stroll along the river. A very welcome break from the motorway indeed.
Dog-friendly coaching inn that's very handy for the M11 and the Imperial War Museum at Duxford (not dog-friendly).
Traditional village pub, very convenient for the War Museum and with a friendly atmosphere. Jem and I sat out in the garden with a book while the others went to the museum, and felt very comfortable.
Another very good dog-friendly pub near the M11 and the Imperial War Museum, and a very easy to follow dog walk to the young River Cam to enjoy.
