Across the UK there are thousands of popular walking routes which are perfect for you and your four-legged friend to explore.

Whilst you’re on your dog friendly holidays, you could check out some of the popular trails and local walking routes, so your pooch has as much fun as you!

Here are some of the most popular routes among walkers and four-legged-friends alike

Allt yr Esgair Circular, Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales
If your UK holiday is in Wales this year, this is a spot you may want to check out.

The Brecon Beacons offer breath-taking views of Wales, over the midst of different terrains. This route is perfect if you have an energetic dog who loves a long walk. You’ll pass small villages, so you can have a well-deserved pit stop and marvel at the gorgeous lakes, where your dog can make a splash and have a cooling refresh!

With this walking trail, you can start at the Welsh Venison Centre and walk over the scenic hills, so make sure to bring comfy walking shoes and a waterproof jacket!

Cawsand to Whitsand Bay, Cornwall
Cornwall is one of the most popular UK holiday destinations, so it’s no surprise if you’ve thought about visiting this gorgeous county.

This route in particular is situated in the south-east corner of Cornwall and is the perfect spot for a stroll. You’ll start your journey in the village of Cawsand, which is picture-perfect, before embarking on a leisurely stroll to Whitsand Bay.

Here, your dog can explore the sand dunes whilst you take in the stunning scenery. On this route dogs are welcome all year round, so there is no need to worry about seasonal restrictions.

Barmston Beach to Bridlington, Yorkshire
This route is a gorgeous coastal walk, stretching across the east-riding of Yorkshire. You’ll begin at Barmston Beach, which is a great spot to breathe in some fresh sea air whilst your pup has a paddle in the water.

Then you’ll continue to walk the coastal path until Bridlington. But if this leaves you wanting more, you can opt to walk for longer and continue along the seafront where you’ll come across Flamborough. Here, you can explore the famous castle.

Cudmore Grove Country Park, Essex
If your pooch prefers playing in the water rather than exploring fields, this is the place for you!

This Essex-based location is right on the seafront. Here, you can walk along the 4-mile stretch of beach and see some spectacular views.

Despite this walk not being too long, you can spend as much time as you like at the beach – perfect if you have little ones with you on holiday!

Cudmore is the ideal beach day out for you, your dog and your family!
