Haunted Castle with restored gardens, Scotland
This is a fine old ruin with a glorious collection of ghosts, family curses and executions! Dogs may be disappointed by a short stroll, but for history and atmosphere it's a family winner.

Suddenly, in the middle of literally nowhere, here's a hive of activity for families, dogs and everyone. Terrific atmosphere, plenty of facilities and lots to do.
Local volunteers have created an extraordinary walk and canal restoration here. The Whitchurch arm of the canal has been cleared out and turned into a waterside country park.
A country park with loads of space for dog walks and also some interesting historic relics from way back in history to WW2.
An easy access walk that's great for dogs and easy to find.
A National Trust property with a marked circular walk suitable for dogs, and also the usual clean facilities for driver comfort. It's a good family stop even without the cafe.
Atmospheric space with a gently babbling brook and the musty aroma of ancient woodland. Dog heaven, and a well-made path to make the walking easier.
A country park where dogs and kids get plenty of space to run off some energy. It's just under 6 miles from the M1 so more useful if you are already planning to head towards the Peak District.
Peaceful country park that has a small and neighbourly feel. No facilities, but if you're looking for a gentle walk with the dog this is ideal.
Close to the little town of Bellingham, this is a great place to stop to give the dog a run.
We stumbled on this fascinating slice of recent history by chance, and discovered a small centre with a cafe, vet practice and dog walk more or less in the middle of nowhere.
A marvellous dog walk that will please every pooch with a yearning for a sniff and leg-stretch. Dog-friendly B&B rooms if you need a stopover.
