Not far from the A1 you'll find quiet and tranquil woodland walking here on forestry paths. It's a real bolthole from the thunder of the "Great North Road".
An easy to follow dog walk and a dog-friendly country pub nearby. It's not hugely exciting but will delight the dog.
A gentle dog walk over quiet crop fields with the oddly soothing hum of the motorway in the distance. The pub is dog-friendly and has a spacious garden.

Relaxed and welcoming eatery which will definitely appeal to foodies with their dogs. You'll find lots of dog walking opportunities as well as the routes we've described here.
A calm woodland dog-walking space close to Rickmansworth and the A404. A fine place for a gentle dog walk and picnic, and surprisingly quiet.
A village with deep historic roots, and a fine place to stop for a driving break and dog walk. The ancient inn is well worth a stop to admire the building.
Popular and dog-friendly inn in the winter and summer. This area is full of ancient remains and artefacts from the earliest of times, and there's a burial chamber just around the corner.
A fantastic area of wetland and grasslands with a huge variety of wildlife. Look out for the remains of medieval forts, built to protect the harbour. There is plenty here for dogs to check out.
