Junction 17 on the M4 seems to be the best junction for drivers with dogs to make an exit, enjoy a relaxing walk with the dog and pick and choose from the many dog-friendly pubs in the area.
This market town used to be of massive strategic importance and the Norman castle looms over Swaledale quite ominously on a grey day.
Country pub with a dog walk starting from the car park. A complete change from the motorway for sure. Suggest phoning before you arrive to check they are open and whether you need a reservation.
A wonderfully relaxing location offering over 11 miles of canal towpath to wander along as it meanders out into the delightful Devon countryside.
For getting away from it all with your dog, this is perfect. Rural and peaceful and well away from the hurly burly of normal life.
A pleasant stroll with the dog through a small village onto open fields. The community pub is welcoming and helpful.
Another very good dog-friendly pub near the M11 and the Imperial War Museum, and a very easy to follow dog walk to the young River Cam to enjoy.
Easy-going woodland walk, with history and a tower worthy of Rapunzel. Dogs will love the sniffing and wild scents.
Dog-friendly paradise for walks and dog-friendly refreshments and close to Maidstone for a weekend walkies, or just 2 miles from Junction 8 of the M20 and 2.
A small dog-friendly pub in situated just 5 minutes from the historic town of Richmond.
A truly authentic pub experience that transports you back in time at least a century, maybe more. Exceptionally friendly and welcoming to dogs and drivers.
