The Boot is a bit unlucky with its location, on a bend of the A435 where most people just don't see it until too late. Once in the car park it's clear that the pub is bigger than it appears to be.
Surprisingly rural pub on the edge of the Black Country. It does have a locals' feel, but less so in the summer when it's warm enough to sit outside.
Seconds away from the Lichfield Road, here's an easy walk along a towpath to a relaxing water park, and a dog-friendly pub for refreshments.
Dog-friendly pub with a roaring fire in winter, and lots of outdoor space and tables in summer. Close to Coughton Court (not dog-friendly) and several very good walks nearby.
Sometimes we stumble on the entirely unexpected - such as this former 12th century monastery with gardens, wine tasting and an entertaining self-guide tour of the buildings with the help of a monk...
An unusually spacious Aire with a grassy area that's about the size of a football pitch. It's too close to the traffic to be an off-lead walkies, but is definitely a boon to desperate dogs.
An easy place to take a break from the busy A82 with parking for motorhomes. Dogs will adore the walks with off-lead romping very safe on a forest track.
A short walk with the dog around one of the most easily recognised castles in the world, helped by it's appearance as the castle and village of Glenfinnan in Highlander.
A forest walk with easy paths and a fine view on a clear day. We walked up in a mist of never-ending drizzle but local dogwalkers assured us it is usually a clear and lovely walk.
Dogs are made very welcome at this 13th century castle that feels more like a film set than actual history. The gardens are pretty and aromatic and the castle itself is tiny inside.
Traditional dog-friendly inn and a woodland walk with doggie swimming.
