Monsal Trail update

Posted on Monday, 18th July 2011 - 1:38pm in Articles by Lezli

Dog walks without sheep and stiles in the Peak District just got better with the opening up of three tunnels on the Monsal Trail.

The tunnels have been closed for years and, like most people who regularly walk in the Peaks, we'd done our fair share of squeezing through the former safety barriers to try and creep through... but never succeeded! 

The tunnels re-opened this year after a £2.25 million upgrade to make them safe and suitable for walkers, and now look fantastic.

 

We'll be including a section of the trail in a Waggy Trail soon - and if you're planning a walk there with your dog over the next couple of weeks, please remember that there are lots of cyclists and dogs should be on leads.

MOTORWAY WALKS - The Book

With nearly 200 walks from the Driving with Dogs website, this handy little book is an ideal guide to the best dog-friendly pubs and dog walks within 5 miles of UK motorway exits.

Like the website walks, you'll also find information about campervan access, disabled facilities, kids' activities, safe parking places, sat-nav codes and written route directions too.

Walking the Dog: Motorway Walks for dogs and drivers is available from the RAC shop (link URL http://www.racshop.co.uk/rac-books.html) and all the usual online bookstores such as amazon.

If your local bookstore doesn't have a copy in stock, you can order by quoting the ISBN number: 978-1-845841-02-7
