Everyone can find something of interest in this small Northumberland village.
There's something dramatic about taking the dog for a walk around a Roman fort close to Hadrian's Wall. You've got to wonder if there are any ancient doggie sniffs for the pooch to savour.
Woodland dog walks, an ancient glacial lake and lots of things for the family to enjoy makes this country park a good bet for a holiday visit or a quick doggie stop from the A69.
Lovely secluded woodland in an almost hidden valley close to the centre of Newcastle. Your dog can run freely (except at the children's zoo) with woodland and over a mile of footpaths.
First up, this is a hugely popular town in tourist season and if there are no spaces in the car park then you're better off heading for one of the dog-friendly Roman towns or the Wall instead.
Easy-going walk on a multi-user path with no stiles or cows to worry about. There's a real ale pub near the car park
Good place for a family and dog stop, and good value if you're an English Heritage member. Otherwise it can be pricey for what it is.
Riverside dog-friendly pub within easy reach of the A69. The dog walk is a delight in dry weather and our pup loves a river swim here.
On the rainswept day we were here it was hard to imagine Roman soldiers getting excited about Mithraic rituals here, let alone bull sacrifices and pagan fun.
Avoid this one in peak tourist season, but definitely try for a stop here at quieter times of the year. The town has plenty of dog-friendly shops and a surprisingly large park just behind the centre.
Doggy delights in the footsteps of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Make sure you have your English Heritage card with you to avoid the parking charge.
A traditional and dog-friendly pub with an easy dog walk from the door. Ideal for a stop near Carlisle.
One of the very best bits of Hadrian's Wall with plenty of the wall to see, and the equally imposing sight of the Whin Sill pushing out from deep in the earth to the light.
One of the very best garden tea rooms we've seen this year. The flowers are a delight and the cakes here are light and calorie-free.
Parking in Hexham can be a horror story, so this is a relaxed and tranquil oasis of riverside calm.
Our plan was to walk with the dog to one of the forts on Hadrian's Wall. Instead we found a wonderful beach by a water-filled quarry that the dog point blank refused to leave.
At one time this was the northernmost town in the Roman Empire and hugely important. Today it's a breath of fresh air after the crowds in nearby Corbridge and well worth a visit.
This is one of the best Roman sites to visit with the dog because there is so much lush grass between the very spread out excavated sections that the dog will be fooled into thinking it's really a dog...
Popular woodland for dog walking, and easy to reach from the A69. On the day we were there the lake was shimmering with sunlight reflecting on damselfly wings and it was just gorgeous.
A former quarry that's slowly turning into a green and pleasant country park. It's still a work in progress and some of the paths are decidedly sharp on the paws.
Tranquil ruins where dogs are welcome and shaded seats are a welcome sight on a hot day. Best of all is the Bark and Brew dog cafe next door!
A camping site with access to dog walks through the Bellister Estate and also swimming in the Tyne. One of the best dog walks at a campsite we've found. You can also park nearby for just the walks.
