Local pubby pub near to a reservoir that's good for a dog walk. Parts of the building are really old, and there's a friendly feel to the place. Real ales and comfort eating.
A fine area for dog walks long or short. And then a friendly and dog-welcoming country pub just a minute away from the A272.
A quiet hamlet by the River Mangerton makes a lovely place to stop and admire the Dorset countryside.
Totally brilliant old-school pub where the owner and customers are fabulously dog-friendly and have a fantastic track record of raising funds for the Canine Partners charity.
Victorian pub where locals and passing strangers are all made welcome. Good value snacks and lunches served, and it's not far from an off-lead dog walk. Regular dog walks every month.
Perfectly placed dog-friendly pubby pub close to several off-lead walk routes and very handy for a doggiestop off the A49.
A pleasant combo of a dog walk with plenty of off-lead space for dogs, and a country pub with an ambitious menu.
Dogs are welcome in this stunningly pretty village with a lived-in castle and bags of history. As close to real-life time travel as you can get! Very close to the A28.
A hugely popular 2-mile walking route, and a delight in every season of the year. Dogs can enjoy a dip in the river too.
The walk starts from a dog-friendly inn with rooms. It's so easy to imagine mail coaches and tired riders stopping here for a break from the road.
Charming, small gastro pub/restaurant with superb food and top class service. Nicely behaved dogs are welcome, and treats might be on the menu for them.
A very good doggie pitstop just off the A496. And worth a much longer explore if you're staying in the area.
