One more of Northamptonshire's immaculately planned and maintained country parks.
Canal towpaths are lovely because there's no chance of getting lost on your walk. And this one starts from a dog-friendly pub that must have seen a good slice of canal action over the years.
Doggie perfection at this canal-side pub with a walk from the door, loads of extra sniffing, and a friendly welcome at the pub for people too.
If you're a bit vague on where Northamptonshire is - this attractive pub and village will come as a lovely surprise. The area is basically the Cotswolds without the crowds.
A family-run traditional inn with a dog walk pretty much straight from the car park. And roaring fires in cold weather.
Warm and extremely welcoming dog-friendly pub. We called in on a mid-week lunchtime and found a busy and thriving atmosphere. For a village inn, this one definitely punches above its weight.
Roomy and comfortable village inn with a stylish interior. Dogs are welcome in the bar. And a good dog walk nearby. Near Silverstone and Bicester Village, and not far from the M40.
Rustic-style village gastro pub offering a warm welcome and posh pub food. And the nearby woodland dog walk is great for travel-weary hounds.
We found this was a good combo of dog-friendly pub and short dog walk, with the site of the Battle of Naseby just a few miles away if you get inspired by the 'oldness' of everything around here.
Excellent stopping point for dogs and kids (and drivers) with easy to follow walk routes on good firm paths - ideal for wet weather and keeping your feet dry.
Plan ahead to meet up with friends, or treat yourself and the dog to a gastro-break near the M40.
