A real hidden gem just outside the national park and there's plenty to do here and no crowds.
Good combo of an easy dog walk along a canal and a dog-friendly pub for refreshments.
An easy walk with no livestock to worry about and just one path through the bracken. Ideal for a quiet stroll with the dog in a little-frequented beauty spot.
A gorgeous part of Herefordshire to take a break and just enjoy the fresh air and scents and sounds of nature.
What a strange place, half the hill is missing! The remaining half is part of the Shropshire Hill AONB.
Once the stronghold of the Mortimer family, the village now has fallen back to rural life and the castle ruins are great for kids and dogs to explore.
This was a surprise - we were expecting a pretty lagoon of scenic delight. But the lagoon had almost no water in it, apparently for 'safety concerns'.
When the tide is out the beach here is an enormous doggie playground with views across to the hills surrounding the South Lakes.
A perfect walk for sociable dogs, with soft lush grass, doggie beaches by the river and swimming. Always check the river levels before letting your dog in the water.
A dog-friendly pub with access to several really long dog walks over the fells, and a shorter one for dogs on a journey.
A useful park to know about if you're staying in the area, and a good place to start the Barnoldswick heritage trail.
