Handy for the M40 Junction 5 and 6. An unusual part of the county as the woodland here is owned either by the Forestry Commission or the National Trust. Excellent news for dog-walkers.
This could be the perfect pub for ticking all the right boxes for drivers, dogs and passengers too.
Way back, even before the Romans, Icknield Street was a major route for travellers and so loads of feet and paws will have trodden this walk before you.
Falling Foss is a delightful waterfall, accessed through woodland on either side of Littlebeck and Maybeck.
The White Horse is the highlight of this walk, and you can see its chunky features from the car park and for miles around.
Dogs with a taste for privilege past and present will enjoy a stroll around a medieval castle keep. It's an atmospheric site and great for visits with kids and dogs.
Bit of an exciting break off the A39, and great if you need some space. It's quite a fairly remote sand and shingle beach with no dog restrictions all year.
A popular quaffing spot for thirsty thespians, the relaxed atmosphere of this riverside pub is a joy for dogs on a jaunt to Stratford on Avon.
This dog walk is a fabulous chance to get a snapshot of rural Wiltshire life, and find out what you've been missing on the M4. And the dog-friendly pub is very award-winning.
Traditionally tiny Oxfordshire pub in the foothills of the Chilterns and literally moments away from the M40 Junction 6. An ideal place for a break from the motorway with refreshments and a dog walk.
A village with two dog-friendly pubs and a good dog walk as long as you like, really close to the M11/A11.
Good stop for families with a dog. More of a saunter than a dog walk, but if you have young kids on board this could be a lifeline to sanity.
