Junction 7

A brilliant dog friendly pub just of the M5. Just by Gordano Services. Dogs are allowed in the tiled bar area. Food is above average and service is great. Walks in nearby Prior wood are excellent.
Good walking in this historic park. Look out for the interesting colliery remains near the car park. Horses also use the park, so avoid the bridle paths if your dog is scared of large beasties!
Junction 35
A quiet dog walk and a dog-friendly pub close to the M1 Junction 35. The dog walk is through the leafy splendour of an ancient coppice.
Junction 5
Good dog walking country between Stokenchurch and Lewknor, with a number of woodland paths to vary the route if this becomes a regular walk place. It is hilly, but there are sitting spots.
Junction 10
Dog walk in a really interesting country park, formed out of the remains of a colliery. The ponds in the park came about from subsidence, not design. It's a gritty sort of park, but worth a visit.
A gloriously sheep and stile-free walk in an ancient forest that's now part of the Pembrokeshire national park.

This is such is a useful stop, especially if you have children on board too as there is plenty to occupy youngsters as well as dogs. And the cafe is a gem.
Junction 6

A large park in a beautiful valley. There's a choice of walking through woods, over grass or along the river, and the chance to enjoy some interesting metal sculptures.
Remote forest walk where Red Kites wheel above and small furries scamper below. An ideal scampering ground for dogs who've had the nearby on-lead Devil's Bridge trip (Jem isn't a fan!).

Great National Trust park with miles of walking. Lack of dog poo bins is a slight downside. Variety of areas: Lake side (water front); park; hills. Nice view of the castle.
Junction 6
Handy for the M40 Junction 5 and 6. An unusual part of the county as the woodland here is owned either by the Forestry Commission or the National Trust. Excellent news for dog-walkers.

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.
Beautiful setting & nice clean water for doggy swimming.
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.
