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.
