This historic village is a fantastic place for dogs, and kids of all ages from 4 to 94. The dunes and beach behind the massive castle are wide and spacious enough for the most energetic hound.
The first thing to notice about this village is the enormous village green. And then, lurking beyond the green are the ruins of an old castle. And the resident dogs - lots of them!
Relaxing dog walk on a heritage canal trail close to the M1 and the A50 near Nottingham, and beautifully rural for a summer stroll with the mutt.
A large car park, easy access to the river and tasty food makes this a popular place to enjoy an easy dog walk, with doggie swimming, and take a break.
This is the perfect hot weather dog walk over paw-cooling grass. Pleasure boats on the river pass by from time to time, and there's a sense of 365 day holidays here.
Handy and dog-friendly pub for a walk by the canal, or just a pleasant place to sit in the beer garden and watch the boats go by. Close to the M42 and the M40.
We found this was a good combo of dog-friendly pub and short dog walk, with the site of the Battle of Naseby just a few miles away if you get inspired by the 'oldness' of everything around here.
Fully accessible dog walk on flat paths through a nature reserve, and a child and dog-friendly Tudor inn with roaring fires in winter and a garden in summer.
Lovely relaxing dog walk along the Birmingham and Fazeley canal towpath, with side paths into a nature reserve. The towpath is well-maintained and clean underfoot.
Even though the car park is directly off the A9 northbound, after just a few paces along the path, you would never know you're anywhere near a main road.
Popular with walkers, and close to some lovely dog walks. The Drovers was bought by an Edinburgh pubco (2022) and details may have changed since then. They are definitely still dog-friendly.
