Dogs will love a walk in this huge forest. It's quiet and peaceful and you're unlikely to meet anyone else. It's a relaxing spot for a motorway break.
Dogs allowed on this sheltered beach year round, but with time restrictions in the summer. You'll need to be off the beach by 10am and then there's access again at 7pm.
An easy stop for families, with plenty for little ones to explore as well as a good farm shop and cafe. Dogs are welcome outside the cafe, so this is one for a dry day.
A dog-friendly country inn with dog walks just a short way from the M62. Expect a friendly welcome from the new management here. Good for families and it's also a handy motorhome stopover.
Excellent part of the massive forest for walking dogs. There are several marked trails and on a clear day the views are spectacular.
Nothing really prepares you for the sheer size and age of the trees on the dog walk here. It's a very special atmosphere and definitely one to savour.
One of the remoter parts of the Galloway Forest and a good walk place for less sociable dogs, or when you just want to let the dog sniff and potter in his own time without canine company.
A short woodland stroll with the dog will bring you to a curious collection of early Christian signs and a glimpse too of the very rich history of the area.
Expect oodles of Highland charm and comfort at the dog-friendly hotel and country inn on the lochside here. It's traditional hospitality with modern comforts. Lovely!
Aberfoyle is the centre of lots of dog walks and scenic places. Although small, the town bustles with energy and you'll find useful shops for food shopping, outdoor accessories and a fuel station.
If it's location and excellent food you're after, this waterside inn is a winner. It's a scenic route to get there by road, or the ferryboat from Skye.
A pull-in off the A87 will lead you to a dog walk towards waterfalls and, apparently, the site of the Battle of Glenshiel from 1719.
