Feudal village and Estate dog walk, Derbyshire An interesting spot to walk a desperate dog, in an immaculately kept village with mainly thatched cottages nesteld around the skirts of the Hall. It's a rare glimpse of the England of nostalgia.
Heritage tearoom and walks near Stoke, Staffordshire A wonderful place to take a break from the A52 with a choice of fab dog walks, super tea rooms, plenty of parking and lots of heritage interest too. Loads of space for kids to let off steam too.
Woodland dog walk near Cheadle, Staffordshire A quiet and atmospheric woodland walk with a feast of bluebells in spring, and very few people around.
Nature reserve dog walk with enormous views and marsh, Lincolnshire Very atmospheric dog walk with plenty to see, not only the birds in the reserve but also some fascinating marshes and low land drainage (really!). It's like a different world.
