Recognised as one of France's prettiest villages, it's definitely worth having a look around the village and gathering picnic supplies before heading down the hill to the river and a dog walk.
Part of the Lough Gill Natural Heritage Area, this is a great dog walk around the edge of the lake - with shelter from the conifers on rainy days.
You don't need to be a keen gardener to enjoy a walk in this almost tropical environment.
Flagmount's quite a popular place for traditional pursuits - and the lake has a gorgeous white sandy beach. There's a choice of walks, and on a good day a potter by the lake is just great.
Dogs will love it here and there's also plenty for people to do, with a helpful visitor centre to help you decide what to see.
Just one access point to the massive Haute-Vallee de Chevreuse regional park. Great for off lead dogs, picnics and some exhilarating forest air. Don't be surprised to see the occasional horse rider.
Loads of oxygen and the sounds of nature in this quiet national forest. It's easy walking, and good for all the family - not just the dog!
Short coastal path walk to a former lighthouse - now a restaurant where dogs are made welcome!
A tiny lakeside beach that's just doggie perfect for a cooling dip on a hot summer's day.
Another enjoyable and accessible section of the Nantes-Brest canal.
We loved our visit here, and it really felt like time travel back to the end of the last Ice Age.
Dogs are allowed into these extraordinary gardens and if you're a keen gardener with time to spend before the Roscoff ferry I can't think of anywhere better to pass the time.
