There's a choice of two water walks in this sleepy village, both quiet and tranquil. There are a couple of small shops in the village for picnic supplies, and the Bell is dog-friendly in the bar.
There's plenty to see on this dog walk in the wooded grounds of two ruined husks of former aristocratic glory. Both belonged to Bess of Hardwick, a very material girl indeed.
A really delightful woodland walk for the dog, and then afterwards the nearby dog-friendly pub is welcoming and friendly.
A fully rural circular walk here on Public Footpaths across fields, up and down dales, and highly enjoyable.
The pub here is a 16th Century building with beams, open fires and a touch of old England.
This is reputed to be the only village left in England that still maintains the 'rotating' medieval field system.
Dogs will love the scents to be found in this old wood, and the sense of otherworldness found under the dappled light of these ancient trees will delight the imaginative.
An easy to manage walk with dogs, very close to the M6 exit.
Relaxing homely bar area with sofas and a fabulous view over the Severn estuary and Wales. Can get crowded at busy travel times.
A choice of paths here, either along the canal or the river. There's more to see on the canal route, and the path is in good condition.
The site offers a network of surfaced woodland trails and there are also fantastic off road links to the Teversal Trail Network, and on into Derbyshire and the Five Pits Trail.
This is a lovely 17th Century coaching inn with open fires either end of the lounge bar in which you can enjoy good home cooked food and a fine selection of ales and beers
