Popular, dog-friendly and all-round nice welcoming pub with some good walks from the door. The roadside verges and hedgerows around here are just bursting with life and flowers in summer.
Remote and isolated, this reservoir picnic spot is ideal for that moment when you and the dog really don't want to socialise with strangers! The lane there is narrow, and the final stretch unsurfaced.
A gentle walk with the dog in the forest, and then refreshments in a genuinely friendly and attentive community pub gives perhaps more of a taste of Norfolk than the busier (and more expensive)...
A good circular walk for the dog, and then a 16th century coaching inn lying in the shadow of Blencathra. The village is just a few breaths away from the main road and in a quiet world of its own.
A fantastic pub with a great reputation for its food and really convenient for a lovely woodland dog walk.
Fabulous stroll over common land for the dog, and a pub that has been here since before the English Civil War.
Traditional and dog-friendly pub that's a very short way from the A35, between Bridport and Dorchester.
Beautifully quiet and relaxing dog walk in the shadow of an 11th century abbey ruin. Make sure you have your English Heritage card with you.
A traditional pub, opened up and extended and now with a restful almost Scandinavian feel. It's much larger than you'd guess from the outside.
A really dog-friendly pub in a charming village which is well worth exploring in its own right. The walk is as easy to follow as anyone could wish.
Family-run country pub with a relaxed and friendly atmos and really good pies. Just off the A32 and with a safe off-lead dog walk.
Historic town away from the coast and busy tourist places, and with a smart dining inn close to a safe off-lead dog walk over fields.
