Dog friendly walks

The following are some of Pedro, Bert and Drum’s favourite walks along with our recommendations for doggie friendly pubs and cafes.

As always please remember to clean up after your dog, you will also want to bring your dog some water as well as suitable clothing and footware for yourself.  All these walks are easy (though we will mention any steep climbs) and fairly short as neither of us fancies climbing a mountain and having to carry Bert back down again, our only other criteria is that there is a dog friendly pub / cafe to stop for lunch afterwards!

If you have a favourite walk or other doggie recommendation then get in touch
