The splendid Château Royal de Durtal completely dominates the Loir river and dates back to the 11th century when it was the stronghold of Fulk the Black.
Another tranquil walk with the dog in a section of the Bardney Limewood project, and also the chance to walk along a footpath through fields.
A welcoming dog-friendly hotel and pub in a fabulously old building.
Family run pub with easy access from the A423. In summer the garden is a big bonus.
When you drive into this village there's a feeling that it's a bit more than just a 'simple' village. Look out for the school on the right, it's a pure Hogwarts fantasy.
A gentle stroll along the Garonne towpath, and within easy reach of the town and shops.
The Château is perched on a commanding promontory overlooking deep pine filled valleys.
A really good place to stop for some dog exercise. The car park has shaded parking for dog vehicles and the WCs are clean.
Of all the walks and beaches on the peninsula this one is our favourite. You get the best of all worlds with a circular woodland walk to start with, and then a dog-friendly beach with no restrictions.
Tiny and popular dog-friendly pub that's a regular CAMRA regional winner. It's a part of the Enville Estate so the surroundings are quite grand while the pub is scruffy-chic.
A massive shingle beach where dogs are allowed year round.
If you arrive here when the visitor centre and facilities are actually open, then it's a very good and accessible pitstop for drivers and dogs.
