Sedbergh can get busy in summer, and either of the walk routes are ideal to give the dog some freedom before taking time out for yourself to explore the town.
Just the place for a stop, and particularly good when you're travelling with several generations plus the dog and need everything in one place.
Halfway between Wrexham and Chester, a dog-friendly pub near a good rural dog walk. Look for the dog treat area near the side door!
Village pub with good cafe menu in a pub ambience. Dogs are welcome and the garden is quite large. The walk is very short and boisterous dogs will feel cheated. Less than a mile from the A14.
Short dog walk along a little river with waterfalls and lovely pools for swimming.
One of Jem's favourite doggiestops and it's lovely for dog swimming, a short walkies, and really excellent home-made cakes. The operational steam railway will thrill everyone, and it smells divine!
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.
If quirky architecture floats your boat, then a visit to this barely altered 16th century tower house will be a joy.
A gentle estate which makes an excellent journey break for drivers who enjoy their gardens. Very good for families with good facilities, National Trust cafe and plenty to see.
A flat waterside dog walk with a huge variety of birds and other wildlife to enjoy. A real burst of countryside goodness close to the M27.
There are shops, dog-friendly pubs and cafes here, and it's a good stopping point on the A65 with much easier parking and access to the walks than Skipton, which is just 4 miles away.
So close to the motorway but this village and walk is definitely in the countryside.
