An easy and relaxing dog walk through fields alongside the River Cam. I read somewhere that war poet Rupert Brooke and Virginia Woolf used to skinny dip in the river by moonlight.
Enormous chunk of forest - with a really good cafe for that post-walk tea and cakes! This is well worth an explore, ideal for taking a break for dog walkies and a fix of sanity if you're boiling up on...
Very easy to get to from the M42, and a nice dog-friendly pub - but the walk is almost non-existent. On the other hand, if you've been stuck in traffic this could well be a useful doggiestop.
Dog-friendly pub and dog walk within walking distance of the M1 Services at Junction 23A.
A really good family and dogstop less than 2 miles from the M40. Jem got a lovely welcome here, and we all enjoyed the walk.
The dog walk here is a very pleasant stroll along a canal towpath.
Easy linear walk that's doggie-pawfect. Dogs are welcome in the pub garden here, and dog water bowls are provided.
A lovely pub to relax in after taking Fido or Fifi for a stretch of the paws.
Clean and well-kept dog-friendly village inn within easy reach of the M45, the M1 and the A5 but you'd never know how close these major roads are.
17th century dog-friendly pub with a modern feel, and a fabulous location. In summer you can sit on the grass watching canal boats go by, and in winter there are several fires and woodburners.
Take a trip back in time to a traditional village green with a dog walk on a footpath through the grounds of the manor house, and then to the village pub.
