This walk follows the course of a river, and ducks underneath the M6 to emerge at the site of an ancient motte and bailey fortress in the middle of the water.
This is a delightfully rural canal side walk, even though the roar of the traffic on the M6 motorway is never far away.
Paths are well maintained here and provide easy dog walking around this fully accessible route. This is brilliant for kids, with a large play area, and the woods are perfect for dogs.
Fantastic walk along the river bank, with a lovely dog-friendly hotel bar to return to.
A handy 2-mile (35 mins) circular dog walk on tidy grassland that keeps dogs reasonably clean in all weathers.
This is a fine all-weather walk on a hard surface path around the lake, with easy access for buggies and wheelchair users.
Genuine, nice and dog-friendly inn with plenty of history behind it. We thought the meals were great value, and definitely recommend their Fish Fridays. Easy to get to from the M6/20 and the A56 too
There's a definite northerly feel to the air up here, and even in summer this walk on Public Footpaths feels cool - if not chilly. Dog swimming is possible in the stream at the foot of the hill.
There's a choice of two water walks in this sleepy village, both quiet and tranquil. There are a couple of small shops in the village for picnic supplies, and the Bell is dog-friendly in the bar.
A large, friendly village pub backing onto the Grand Western Canal. Absolutely great for dogs, kids and walkers.
Very easy to follow circular dog walk on a Public Footpath around a reservoir, with fields and an old railway line too. The walk is a good one - and the pub is dog-friendly.
There's plenty to see on this dog walk in the wooded grounds of two ruined husks of former aristocratic glory. Both belonged to Bess of Hardwick, a very material girl indeed.
