This is a gem of a dog walk as well as an inspired piece of urban regeneration. The park is linear because it used to be a railway line serving Wigan and Glazebrook.
This is a fabulous dog walking spot, with not just one good walk but several. No dog with any manners could possibly complain about a doggiestop here.
There are a number of trails in this nature reserve west of Congleton, including an easy access trail.
The woodland here is perfect for dogs to really let off steam and thunder through the trees at speed.
This is a delightfully rural canal side walk, even though the roar of the traffic on the M6 motorway is never far away.
This is a lovely place to mooch with the pooch in a nature reserve within a couple of miles of Junction 12 on the M6.
The paths here meander through a fine mix of woodland, meadow and waterside. The area is evidently a popular spot for local dog walkers, and we didn't see anyone without a dog!
Short, and pleasant walk through a bird sanctuary. The visitor centre has lots of interesting info, and there's plenty for kids to do (apart from walking the dog).
This is gentle, green rolling countryside and it is hard to imagine that the heart of Birmingham is not so very far away.
Stunning countryside with loads and loads of paths. It's close to the M5 and the A49 and on a clear day this is hard to beat for a dog walk.
Clear open landscape to enjoy here, including the source of the River Rea. The view from the top of the hill is sensational, and definitely worth the climb.
Fabulous dog walking in Middle Earth. Yup, the real thing! The dog won't care but kids can look for hobbits.
