Handy for the M40 Junction 5 and 6. An unusual part of the county as the woodland here is owned either by the Forestry Commission or the National Trust. Excellent news for dog-walkers.
Doggietastic little village at the end of a no-through-road and with a choice of dog-friendly pub or cafe, and an idyllic walk with the dog.
Waterside dog walk and then if you're there at the right time a charming and friendly pub tucked away in the Vale of the White Horse.
A brisk trot up to the Ridgeway with the dog, and then refreshments in a 17th century dog-friendly inn.
If you're stressed out from driving, a short leg stretch on an easy to navigate bridleway is just the answer. While the dog takes care of the sniffing, this is a relaxing spot to get some headspace.
A chance to explore some historic walks with the dog. Refreshments at a treasure of a village pub, with a big welcome even if you're just popping in for a coffee.
Lots of footpaths here for a dog walk, and this is a less-visited part of the Cotswolds and agreeably quiet throughout the year. We've picked an easy walking route that avoids stiles and livestock.
The Woodland Trust run Stoke Woods. It's a great little Wood with a number of routes short and longer. Plenty of parking and easy access off the M40/A43. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
If it's a luncheon-stop you're looking for near the M40, then this could just suit.
Monumentally famous landmark, and a great spot for a dog walk. The view over the Thames valley is unrivalled and you've got to wonder at the extreme confidence of the ancient folk who created this.
With 800 years of history behind it, this riverside pub is as much of an institution as the university. It's a friendly place and dogs and families are made very comfortable and welcome.
This is a 4 mile circular walk I done for my blog, its also really good for geocachers.
