Close to both the M20 and the A28 this is a reliable all-weather doggiestop with a dog walk partly on a hard-surface.
Popular with local dog-walkers, this castle and surrounding landscaped park and woodland seems to get missed off many a tourist guide to the area.
Lovely welcome for dogs at this popular pub with lots of outside space and tables. It's near Taunton but feels much more remote and rural than you'd think.
Just the place for a tranquil doggiestop off the A31 near Bere Regis. The walk is on an ancient Roman trackway, and it's a lovely quiet walk for dogs and drivers to enjoy.
If it's a luncheon-stop you're looking for near the M40, then this could just suit.
Remote and peace part of the forest, with plenty of zoomie space for dogs. No stiles of livestock.
A thriving little town with a number of dog-friendly places for refreshment, and a charity shop for greyhounds with doggie ice-cream and cuddles!
Friendly and refurbed dog-friendly canalside pub with a good local reputation for their food. Definitely worth a visit, and remember to phone ahead to reserve a dog table.
This is a gem of a walk for dogs, and a clear favourite with local dog walkers. Handy for either Junction 1 or 2 of the M876
This riverside walk is popular with local dog walkers and if you have a sociable hound there is plenty of space for doggy exuberance.
Worth timing your journey to get here for lunch and making a moment of it. This is a first rate place to stop for a short dog walk.
This dog walk looks really close to the M62 but don't be fooled - it's not close by road! Instead you can easily get there on the old Roman road, the A640.
