This ancient walled medieval town is ideal for a short break from driving.
A lovely walk around the lake which dogs will love. Plenty for the dogs to investigate and lots for the kids to do too.
Another dog friendly beach* on the Cote de Nacre. This is one of the Normandy beaches and this is where the Canadians established a bridgehead in World War II.
This is a super-short dog walk and more for drivers than dogs. The waterfalls are tremendous and well worth a look. The main attraction here are the super-clean alpine style toilets!
A quiet picnic spot by the River Tweed and with a very good off-lead dog walk from the back of the car park. It's a forest walk with no sheep.
Popular with families, dog walkers and horse riders the trail here is part of a much longer route on a former railway track.
A grand house and garden that was once owned by a well-known socialist. Today it's run by the National Trust and dogs aren't allowed in the house, but dogs can enjoy the on-lead walks in the grounds.
A really friendly pub in the middle of Ipswich where dogs are as welcome as people. With a lovely park for walkies nearby, this is an oasis in the heart of a busy town.
A modern country park created out of former farmland, and it's now looking very natural and well-established. Different routes for walkers and other park users make it a relaxed place to take the dog.
There's something dramatic about taking the dog for a walk around a Roman fort close to Hadrian's Wall. You've got to wonder if there are any ancient doggie sniffs for the pooch to savour.
A pub with real maritime heritage and enjoying wonderful views across the sea.
There are few more idyllic places than a dog-friendly pub with its own cricket pitch. This is a lovely place to visit and dogs will enjoy their walkies, whether it is long or short.
