Hubble is a retired greyhound. A sweet black girl who loves sleep, comfy beds and snacks. She enjoys a good car outing with Chris and Sarah.
Who knew that Driving with dogs could even be useful on an evening out with a friend whilst the dog snoozed at home with its master! I was looking for a lovely country pub in the area with good food and this hit the mark. The food was great and the pub was lovely. It has a great patio area for the summer and we’ll definitely be back with the houndie (who would be welcome on the bar) for some forest walks at some point very soon.
We visiting on our way from Sunderland to Stirling. This wasn’t a long stop but something we wanted to explore as we have English Heritage memberships. I learned all about the Corbridge hoard which was so interesting. Hubble was able to walk around the remains of the Roman town with one of us whilst the other spent time in the museum (Hubs is not comfortable in crowds and prefers to be outside so we took turns). Everyone we met was very friendly and seemed to love dogs.
We stopped here on the way to Sunderland. The cafe was brilliant and is one of the best dog friendly National Trust cafes we’ve been to. We sat by the lake on deckchairs in the sunshine whilst drinking our coffee and were truly stunned by the beauty of this stop. Hubble enjoyed the walk immensely. Definitely worthwhile for those with National Trust memberships.
Doggy ice cream and lots of sniffs for Hubble. Good cafe stop for us. Good parking, really lovely walks and way more relaxed than a service station.

Large, quiet park for a relaxed break
Great park with lots of parking for a walk and leg stretch which is close to the motorway. The cafe opens later in the morning / lunchtime so as we were quite early we weren’t able to grab a coffee.
