Home to the MacLean clan, and a very imposing stronghold it still is. These days the gift shop is a popular visitor choice but centuries ago this must have been a scary sort of place.
A fortified residence dating way back to medieval times, and much extended and improved by successive owners over the years. Dogs are welcome in the grounds only.
This is a fine old ruin with a glorious collection of ghosts, family curses and executions! Dogs may be disappointed by a short stroll, but for history and atmosphere it's a family winner.
Relaxed and informal dog-friendly dining and refreshment in the delicious Shropshire countryside.
Suddenly, in the middle of literally nowhere, here's a hive of activity for families, dogs and everyone. Terrific atmosphere, plenty of facilities and lots to do.
Surprisingly large park with plenty of paths and a large car park too. A very handy doggiestop on the way out of London, especially if you're about to get onto the M25.
A country park with loads of space for dog walks and also some interesting historic relics from way back in history to WW2.
A lovely walk with the dog alongside a babbling brook and through a series of atmospheric valleys.
It's good to find a dog walk deep in the hills where you'll also get the comfort of a cafe, an active slate mine to look around, and an otherworldly spot for a picnic.
An easy access walk that's great for dogs and easy to find.
A National Trust property with a marked circular walk suitable for dogs, and also the usual clean facilities for driver comfort. It's a good family stop even without the cafe.
