M5 Junction 18 and 19 woodland dog walk, Somerset
Easy to reach from either Junction 18 or 19 of the M5, this is a piece of canine heaven, through Forestry Commission woods with clear paths and easy to follow signed routes.

A brilliant dog friendly pub just of the M5. Just by Gordano Services. Dogs are allowed in the tiled bar area. Food is above average and service is great. Walks in nearby Prior wood are excellent.
Short walk around a wooded area and across a field right behind the service area
In the winter months especially this is a fine place for a dog walk, and there's plenty of scamper space for dogs to be off-lead in fields with no livestock.
Relaxing homely bar area with sofas and a fabulous view over the Severn estuary and Wales. Can get crowded at busy travel times.
Ladye Bay is a very pretty small beach surrounded by cliffs. To get down to the beach you park on the road at the top of the cliff.
An interesting stop, with a good farm shop and the chance to buy some freshly-made cider direct from the brewery.
Country pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere, and an appetite rousing aroma of good food.
Another dog-pleaser of a walk dog starting at the motorway services, but well-hidden from public view. This is a dry, summer walk and gets well muddy after rain.
This can be either a beach walk, or a trail through the adjacent nature reserve.
The pub is deceptive - bigger inside than you'd think from the car park, and it's strong on food too. The walk is an easy one to find, and dogs get a good off-lead run.
The riverside path here is some 2.5m wide with plenty of dog romping space and an abundance of wildlife. This is probably as close as it gets to Wind in the Willows land, a magical walk.
