Heritage gardens on Windermere, Cumbria
Outstanding lakeside gardens with access to watersports on Windermere and a National Trust cafe and car park. On a sunny day what could be better than a cream tea in this tranquil setting?

Dog-friendly country inn with B&B about halfway between Ludlow and Bridgnorth.
A fabulous chance to get a massive view over the surrounding countryside and enjoy an off-lead walk with the dog.
We really enjoyed the walk here and especially the sound of the waves rippling across the surface of the reservoir.
A pleasant walking route beside a reservoir to please the dog, and then head for refreshments at the recently refurbished inn, or tea and antiques.
A quiet backwater by the canal where dogs can run free on the towpath. The dog-friendly pub is currently open only at weekends.
A quiet and atmospheric woodland walk with a feast of bluebells in spring, and very few people around.
An easy-going path on the trans-pennine trail where it feels as if you have the hills to yourself and the dog.
First up, you need to plan the train trip and not just rock up. Seats get booked up fast. Dogs are welcome and on a sunny day it's a nice ride.
Far from the crowds at the palatial Castle Howard nearby, you'll find a relaxing mood here in 160 acres of peace and calm.
A quiet and gentle woodland dog walk with trees giving plenty of protection against the sun, and rain too. Very relaxing for people and dogs.
A really good, long dog walk that's worth checking out if you are staying nearby. The rural pub where drovers used to halt seems to be for sale (2024).
