A Devil's Bridge, connections to Turner landscapes, and local and visiting dogs having a brilliant time in the water together. What a great place to take a break.
A vast forest that stretches from here to the Cairngorms, and an ideal dog walking spot.
There's a choice of two walks here, one along the banks of the Thames and the other through a nature reserve. Both walks pass a civilised pub where you'll find decent coffee and good service.
Close to the M4 and also on the Fosse Way, this coaching inn has been a comfortable place for travellers to refresh for centuries. Today you'll find tasty food and a good dog walk from the door.
This is the largest open space in London by far at nearly 6,000 acres. It's brilliant for dogs to romp off-lead, roll in the unspeakable and have a great doggie moment.
A real opportunity to explore a charming old village with thatched cottages and a tiny 15th century church nearby. A village shop has cold drinks and snacks, and a lovely tea garden in summer.
A chance to walk along part of the oldest road in Britain or take the pooch for a gentle stroll along the river. A very welcome break from the motorway indeed.
An upmarket countryside dining inn set in the heart of Berkshire farmland and a fabulous place for all the dog walking that you could desire.
A friendly village pub where dogs and families are welcome. The 16th century building is on the main road so it couldn't be easier to find. Just a couple of miles from the M40 Jct 8.
Said to be the second biggest open space in Essex there's plenty of space for dogs to go totally nuts and get really tired out. The routes have no stiles.
Very welcoming and popular establishment, and worth the narrow lanes to get to. The pub has impeccable organic foodie credentials, but isn't in the least bit pretentious. An absolute find.
This dog-friendly haven is quite close to the Grand Union canal, and it's an old building. So a bit of a rarity in MK.
