Why visit the Peak District with your dog?

I hope this picture goes somewhere to explaining why the Peak District is such a brilliant place to bring your dog! Where else can you find such stunning scenery and the freedom to be offlead.

There are miles of tracks and footpaths that lead to beautiful places and stunning vistas.

There are hundreds of dog friendly cafes and pubs to take refreshments after a long day walking in the countryside.

The fresh air and exercise does wonders for your dog as well as for dog owners themselves.

Try the Goyt Valley for a selection of walks, including woodland walks, moorland walks and strolls by the waterside.

There are rivers and streams which are wonderful to look at, and in some cases very refreshing for dogs to cool  down on a hot day, or take a drink from.

There are long distance paths such as the Limestone Way, The Pennine Bridleway and the High Peak Trail (to name just a few) which offer many dog walking opportunities.

There are also several visitor attractions that welcome dogs. For example, you can travel on a tram with your dog at Crich Tramway museum, or ride on a steam train from Rowsley to Matlock with Peak Rail.
