Jem totally loved his trip here.
Shingle beach backed by woody hills. On street parking, shops and facilities in the village before the beach.
Easy to find village inn that's not too far from the A35, and no distance from the coast either if your dog needs a change from the beach.
A fine traditional pub with splendid views. Great to come back to after a walk with your dog.
This beach is busy with dogs in the winter as they are allowed on all parts of it - in the summer they are restricted to the far end but that's fine too.
Set in 3500 acres of forest, just 1 mile from the A38, Haldon Forest Park welcomes four-legged family members. Choose from three waymarked walking trails which start at and return to the car park.
A happy mix of yachties, locals and yappers of all sizes in this waterside pub with bags of atmosphere and good food.
A choice of easy dog walks from a 16th century coaching inn. Another Devon inn that's much larger on the inside than seems possible from the outside.
The ideal solution for hot dogs, squabbling kids and over-heated drivers is a stroll in these cool, shady woods. A small rivulet gives dogs an ice-cold drink or paw wash. Jem here is doing both.
