A relaxed and friendly bistro-style cafe/bar for dog-friendly refreshments and a lovely dog walk starting directly opposite.
The village sits squarely on the river Tees, and the short walk here features the site of an old Roman bridge. Apparently the Romans lived here for just short of 500 years.
Riverside path along the Wear with country views, and spectacular views of the Castle and Cathedral. 1.5 miles one way.
A really easy to find dogs delight of a new wood with a circular path and a lovely sense of tranquillity. Close to a roundabout off the A617 and handy for Durham centre too.
Easy to reach from the A66, this castle ruin is a good doggiestop and fun for kids too. Free entry and plenty of fresh air.
A magnificent dog walk across the moorland. Expect near total solitude, and the chance to focus in on bird calls and an occasional rustling in the heather from nesting birds.
Dogs are welcome at the ruins of an old monastery close to the river Tees and a small dog beach.
Characterful market town, with cobbled streets and dog-welcoming cafes, pubs and many non-food shops.
Remote and isolated, this reservoir picnic spot is ideal for that moment when you and the dog really don't want to socialise with strangers! The lane there is narrow, and the final stretch unsurfaced.
We discovered this dog-friendly inn with B&B completely by chance. We were really looking for the farm that makes the tasty local cheese.
A very secluded spot which is ideal for dogs who prefer their own space. It's a long bumpy lane to get there.
