Pet Friendly Travel In The UK
If you want to go on holiday this year and you don’t want to leave your dog at home, we wouldn’t blame you. A dog is like part of the family and it is always horrible to leave them alone in Kennels or with a family member. However there are so many great places in the UK where you can bring your furry friend and they will be able to enjoy your holiday with you, and today we are going to talk about some of the most popular destinations for dog owners in the country.
Pet Friendly Travel In The UK
Cornwall
If you don’t fancy buying yourself a Turkish Visa but you still want to be able to enjoy the sun and the sea, Cornwall is the best place you can visit in the summer. It is the furthest south in the UK and therefore it is often the hottest. You will feel as if you are in Spain when you reach this part of the country and you can enjoy lots of dog friendly cottages, pubs, and beaches during your week away. You can even take your dog to the Eden project as long as they are kept on the lead!
North Wales & Snowdonia
North Wales is a haven for dogs and you can enjoy visiting the pubs on the seafront, having a play in the ocean and walking through the towns browsing the stores. One place in particular which is great for dogs is Snowdonia. This national park is vast and offers trails for the smallest dogs to the biggest. It is stunning, open and brings life and happiness to everyone who visits.
Cumbria & The Lake District
There’s so many dog friendly pubs, bars and cottages in this part of the world that you would think they made it for dogs only.
