Another dog-pleaser of a walk dog starting at the motorway services, but well-hidden from public view. This is a dry, summer walk and gets well muddy after rain.
Close to both the A303 and the A34 we stumbled on this dog walk and dog-friendly inn while trying to find a dogwalk at the Sutton Scotney services on the A34.
Well worth stopping here, not just to walk the dog, but also to enjoy the atmosphere and gothic ruins of this ruined abbey. Great place for a picnic if you're organised enough.
Riverside path along the Wear with country views, and spectacular views of the Castle and Cathedral. 1.5 miles one way.
The riverside path here is some 2.5m wide with plenty of dog romping space and an abundance of wildlife. This is probably as close as it gets to Wind in the Willows land, a magical walk.
Interesting dog walk and a dog-friendly pub close to the A303 near Ilminster. I must have driven past this hundreds of times and never thought to stop, so don't miss out!
17th century dog-friendly pub with a modern feel, and a fabulous location. In summer you can sit on the grass watching canal boats go by, and in winter there are several fires and woodburners.
A great place for a dog walk, and the woods are also full of local history.
A towpath walk along the pretty and well-tended canalside.
Award winning linear park with woodland and open space that's ideal for dogs. Follow the marked trail for a nicely planned circular walk.
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.
Fantastically well-placed dog-friendly pub inside a country park. All boxes ticked for canine content and a chance to satisfy the most demanding passengers too.
