This is a fascinating park and dog walk between Dartford and Gravesend, so close to the road network and yet it feels like another world.
Once past the recently restored country house this walk turns into a fine woodland wander through over 100 acres with stunning views over the valleys beyond.
This small settlement between Queensferry and Grangemouth has a lot going on. Three different dog-walks, the chance to visit a famous castle, and a dog-friendly pub.
An enchanting aromatic garden surrounds this pretty dining pub, and the entrance absolutely has the gardening wow factor.
A fabulous forest walk which is so quiet you can hear the sound of acorns dropping. Just gorgeous! Dogs are fine off-lead.
Pretty country pub below the Blackdown Hills and easy to reach from the A303, The dog walk starts from the door.
I was expecting something quite grand here, fooled by the work 'palace' no doubt. In the event the park used to be farmland, so the terrain is quite unusual for a public park.
Fascinating contrast here with an ancient stone circle rubbing shoulders with a bio-mass power station - both visible from the footpath.
A nice mix of family fun and plenty of childrens activities near the visitor centre and quieter dog walks starting from the visitor centre or one of the large campsites and informal parking spaces...
Popular and busy waterside tourist centre and facilities. And easy to get away from the crowds with a dog walk in either direction and dog swimming too.
Much more than a walkies stop for the dog, this is full-on doggie delight with a dog-friendly pub too. Country pub of the year in the Good Pub Guide 2021
A much-loved nature reserve where volunteers and supporters create a joyful and positive space to enjoy nature. Dogs on leads are welcome, and the little cafe is a hive of happy chat and enthusiasm.
