This is a lovely 17th Century coaching inn with open fires either end of the lounge bar in which you can enjoy good home cooked food and a fine selection of ales and beers
Riverside path along the Wear with country views, and spectacular views of the Castle and Cathedral. 1.5 miles one way.
Picturesque castle ruins in the Eden Valley, just off the A66. Limited on-lead walking for dogs, but a smashing place for kids who love charging around castles with plastic swords.
One of those quaint 'English' dog walks, with a fabulous pub, cricket pitch and strolling route on springy grass through lush countryside.
A lovely woodland walk - dog safe for off lead walking, paths round the woods, mostly gravelled path round the outside or other paths for the more adventurous walker.
Short, and pleasant walk through a bird sanctuary. The visitor centre has lots of interesting info, and there's plenty for kids to do (apart from walking the dog).
A glorious dog walk along a towpath with the chance to watch narrowboats climbing the 21 closely placed locks of the 'Stairway to Heaven'. And a choice of dog-friendly places for refreshments.
Dogs will relish the freedom of this woodland, which dates way back to early times. And afterwards, there's a lovely atmosphere at the dog-friendly village pub. Ticks all the boxes!
Easy to find dog-friendly pub - and the walk starts directly from the car park. Perfect!
If you have canal buffs in your party be prepared for them to abandon all ideas of walking the dog in this fascinating excavation of 14 locks.
The pub is deceptive - bigger inside than you'd think from the car park, and it's strong on food too. The walk is an easy one to find, and dogs get a good off-lead run.
Over a thousand acres of ancient woodland, with several car parks, cafe and limitless picnic spots.
