A village with deep historic roots, and a fine place to stop for a driving break and dog walk. The ancient inn is well worth a stop to admire the building.
An easy-going dog walk that's very popular with local dog-folk, and an interesting place to take a break even without a dog! Great views and a sense of brooding history.
A really friendly pub in a pretty Mendip village. Dogs are welcome and have a splendid country walk to look forward to. Wellies needed in wet weather.
Atmospheric and dog-friendly ruined castle from the 14th century with a very exciting moat. Very good for children and dogs, with a playground in the public car park.
Easy-going woodland walk, with history and a tower worthy of Rapunzel. Dogs will love the sniffing and wild scents.
This is a tremendous place to stop so allow plenty of time for dogs, kids and everyone to celebrate the big spaces and heritage here. Just wonderful.
If you are looking for somewhere to return to again and again for your walkies, this place should do the trick. There are loads of walks to enjoy and you can pick up leaflets from the visitor centre.
A peaceful place to walk the dog near a busy town, this country park has 100 acres of fields and woodland to wander around and explore
The chunky stone in the photo marks the spot where, possibly, the English nation was formed.
Award-winning country dining pub with mouth-wateringly good food. Ideal place to meet up with friends or family for grown-up dining.
A truly lovely pub in a great location near Bath. Dogs will appreciate the waterside walk and people will enjoy the delicious food on offer.
Historic and dog-friendly inn that looks nothing special from the road, but is very beguiling once you're inside. Within easy reach of Frome or Warminster from the A36.
