The dog-friendly pub here is defended by Edward 1st who died of a ghastly tummy upset while trying to invade Scotland. As kingly demises go, it's not very glorious.
Enter the world of Beatrix Potter and enjoy a walk with Peter Rabbit between two lakes from a dog-friendly and welcoming inn with dog-friendly B&B. Always popular, so best to plan to avoid the crowds.
A very good local dog walk with no livestock and endless tracks to walk on. It is a working forest so be prepared to divert and avoid timber works.
This is an easy place to get the dog into the water for a cooling dip in fresh water. It's also popular with wild swimmers.
The pup adored her walkies here. It's a quiet woodland with a variety of trees and foliage, and an easy path to follow. After a few hours on the beach earlier on this was heaven for doggie paws.
Homely village pub with tasty home-cooked food. Access to the dog walk needs a bit of road walking.
An easy to follow dog walk and a dog-friendly country pub nearby. It's not hugely exciting but will delight the dog.
A real hidden gem just outside the national park and there's plenty to do here and no crowds.
The Royal Oak has an excellent Tap Room where dogs and their owners can enjoy an open fire, good food and a pint of Hawkshead in considerable comfort!
Gorgeous old-school hotel and bar close to Wordsworth's House and the start point of several long and highly enjoyable dog walks.
The pub's a traditional 17th century coaching inn, steeped in history and very dog-friendly. Not too far from the M6.
