This 'aire de repose' on the westbound side of the A31 is one of the best rest-stops for dogs and people, on a section of motorway that is otherwise pretty unenticing.
Intimate woodland that makes a lovely doggiestop off the A42, or the A511 too. The atmosphere is light and airy, and it's a great place to enjoy a quiet moment with the pooch.
Dogs are welcome here all year round. It's a narrow bay forming a natural harbour and with access to the coast path.
Roadford Lake sits within the stunning Wolf Valley, near the Cornwall border just minutes off the A30. Operated by swlakestrust.org.uk there are several walks from 1.
Recommended by Carole and Jack who say 'A friend organises an annual dog walkers' Christmas brunch here and on our lunchtime visit, wet and bedraggled, we all received a warm welcome.
Friendly pub with good food - dogs are welcome in the Bar with a very friendly landlady who often has treats for good dogs!
Doggy excitement guaranteed in this wonderful valley.
A former linen manufacturing centre, now a country park. It was also the first site for Ulster's hydro-electric power.
Flat, clean and sandy. My Labradors love swimming here.
A glorious expanse of woods, heaths and grass perched on a dramatic clifftop. On a clear day you can see all the way to France.
Situated near Bunbury in Cheshire this very dog friendly pub is well worth a visit with its excellent menu and selection of beers.
This is a small but beautiful riverside park and has the remains of a Norman motte and bailey castle, although there's not much left to see. Plenty of dog walks here and it's an ideal place to relax.
