I had a hard time dragging Jem out of this dog-friendly pub where the sweet smells of lunch had his doggie nose twitching in hope.
To be fair, dogs aren't exactly the priority here. But - Jem got a fabulous welcome wherever we went, and this is a lovely place to take a break from the A14 in summer.
An interesting cliff top walk with the chance to ride into town on a fun tourist railway. We had the puppy safely on lead as he's still into chasing seagulls.
Many vet surgeries in France have at least one person who can speak some English. Google Translate on your phone can be very helpful when you need to explain something complicated.
A golden sandy beach with no dog restrictions, and it goes on for miles and miles. Beach hounds don't get it any better than this.
Often overshadowed by its more well-known neighbour, Ilkley, the town of Otley is worth a visit and is handily placed for Leeds pooches getting out of town.
This is walk full of doggy delight. The wood is popular with local dog-owners, and a particularly friendly bunch they are too.
A bracing seafront dog walk awaits you here, on a deserted strip of coastland cut off from the town of Havant by a bypass and now almost completely given over to dog-walkers.
A riverside path with access to the river for doggie swimming and an easy no-fuss walk just off the A66.
Relaxing waterside inn with tables overlooking the river. Dog-friendly and ideal for a leisurely weekend lunch. There's also free parking by a small common which leads onto a long dog walk.
Upmarket riverside dog-friendly pub with a big garden and plenty of space. Good for families, with snacks, ice-cream and meals to suit all ages.
Drivers in need of a break have the choice of two walks here, and the pub is a happy and dog-friendly place.
