This is the largest open space in London by far at nearly 6,000 acres. It's brilliant for dogs to romp off-lead, roll in the unspeakable and have a great doggie moment.
A real opportunity to explore a charming old village with thatched cottages and a tiny 15th century church nearby. A village shop has cold drinks and snacks, and a lovely tea garden in summer.
A chance to walk along part of the oldest road in Britain or take the pooch for a gentle stroll along the river. A very welcome break from the motorway indeed.
An upmarket countryside dining inn set in the heart of Berkshire farmland and a fabulous place for all the dog walking that you could desire.
A friendly village pub where dogs and families are welcome. The 16th century building is on the main road so it couldn't be easier to find. Just a couple of miles from the M40 Jct 8.
Said to be the second biggest open space in Essex there's plenty of space for dogs to go totally nuts and get really tired out. The routes have no stiles.
Very welcoming and popular establishment, and worth the narrow lanes to get to. The pub has impeccable organic foodie credentials, but isn't in the least bit pretentious. An absolute find.
This dog-friendly haven is quite close to the Grand Union canal, and it's an old building. So a bit of a rarity in MK.
Charming dog-friendly pub near Rugby, and a dog walk too. Worth checking out if you're local, and a welcoming place for a dog walk and refreshments on your journey.
This is a well looked after community nature reserve, and combines shaded woodland with open space that's ideal for dogs.
Very handy family stop close to the M1 between Nottingham and Sheffield. Make sure you have your English Heritage card with you to avoid the parking charge.
This massively dog-friendly pub is hidden away in a delightful New Forest village. There are loads of dog walks to enjoy nearby in the woodland guaranteed.
