GOOD WALKING PLACES

Canonteign Falls in Devon - A great place to take the dogs!! www.canonteignfalls.co.uk There is an admission fee, but it's worth it!

Cogden - A National Trust spot near the sea. Pay and Display car park and then walk straight down to the beach. Dog friendly all year round. See on the map.

Lower Maunsel Lock, near Bridgwater - Parking under the trees and picnic tables. Walk along the canal. A coffee shop and toilets. See on the map.

The Pines Cafe - Good place to stop for a cuppa and a snack. The car park is near the cafe or you can sit outside with your dog as there are lots of tables. Great walks all around the Quantocks. See on map.

Hardy's Monument - Great views and walks. No toilets or anything, but sometimes there is a refreshments van. Map.

Stonebarrow - Fantastic views, short walks or really long walks. Little NT shop and toilets. Good for picnic as there is lots of space. Need to 'pay and display' if not a National Trust member. Click here for map.

Wayford Woods - Really pretty, dog friendly woods. Large pond so watch out with little people! Map.

Always remember to take fresh water and poop bags on your when your out and about with your pals!
