Product Information

A short drive from Bath is the village of Kelston, which has long been popular with walkers of all kinds due to the network of footpaths converging here and the picturesque countryside surrounding the village. Due to the abundance of caves, and steep drops, it’s best to keep your pup on the lead to be safe when walking around the gorge. We’re sure they won’t mind as they’ll get a few hours in the fresh air walking over terrain that’s sure to tire them out. (That’s a note for the humans, too!) One of the several trails through the woods gives you a wonderful view over the Gordano Valley and across Wales and Bristol. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the view on this circuit from Portbury, through the woods, and across the meadows on the other side. There are plenty of facilities at the castle, including a shop and tea room. Dogs aren’t allowed on the inside of the tea room or castle but can venture everywhere else. You can also visit the working watermill with your pup on your walk.

Tail held horizontally: A tail held straight out indicates a dog who is attentive and alert or perhaps curious about something nearby. Traditional hunting dog breeds like pointers or setters also hold their tails out straight when they point at an animal or object. At the end of the day, you and your pet can rest easy knowing you have your very own home-from-home to retreat to and hang up your lead and boots. So, what are you waiting for?

Bottom Line

Explore one of the largest and oldest forests in the country on a circular walk through Horner Wood. This is one of the most mystical places you can visit, as the woods look like the setting for a fantasy series or fairytale rather than a dog walk. However, the forest is dog-friendly and without restriction, so you and your pup can venture forth to enjoy a ramble amidst the ancient trees. There are quite a few streams at the start of this walk so be wary of mud, and leave a towel in the car in case your pup decides to have a paddle. After you’ve climbed the hill, you can stop for a rest and some refreshments in Wheddon Cross, where you started your walk. Or you could bring provisions and have a picnic at Dunkery Gate, with pleasant views over the moor and towards the beacon. Exercising our dogs is as important as ever in wintertime, so don’t let the colder, darker days put you off! Just as getting out into the fresh air is brilliant for our own physical and mental wellbeing, our canine companions benefit hugely from winter walks and activities, too. The village of Dunster is a great place to start your walk where you can pop into the various shops, pubs and tea rooms before your visit to the castle and its gardens. The Foresters Arms and Stags Head Inn will welcome you and your pup, as well as the Chapel House tea room. On the start of your journey, you’ll have the chance to admire the ancient priory, still standing at the corner of Station Road as it has for centuries. The Priory pub is also on the road, and your pup is welcome to join you inside.

Angles Way is a 93 mile route, which skirts around Breydon Water, which is the point at which the rivers Waveney and Yare meet. You can follow this route down to Oulton Broad and then go up the Waveney Valley. We suggest that you visit Burgh Castle, which can be found on this route! By modifying the position, speed, direction, breadth, and stiffness of their tail wag, dogs can communicate a wide range of emotions. These emotions can be positive or negative – a wagging tail certainly doesn’t always mean a happy dog! This circular walk starts in the popular and beautiful Cotswolds village of Bourton-on-the Water. A favourite visitor destination (so you may want to plan the timing of your visit carefully), the tranquil River Windrush flows through the village centre, crisscrossed by low stone bridges. This walk of almost 7 miles is described as moderate and includes some of the Cotswolds finest scenery whatever time of year you visit. The route takes you through picturesque and often photographed villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter and the River Eye. Don’t be put off by the name as the origins can be found in the Old English term of ‘slothre’ or ‘slough’ meaning wetland upon which the villages were built. With that said, a fast circular wag is as close as you can get to a guaranteed sign of excitement and happiness. It’s rare for a dog to exhibit this wagging behavior unless they’re excited. One of the most popular walks amongst local dog walkers, yet somehow always quiet and tranquil, Salhouse Broad is the ideal destination for a dog walk. With 20 acres of ancient woodland to explore, the area has a rich history and is rife with wildlife throughout the year. This is the perfect place to escape from a busy life to find some peace and quiet to enjoy with your dog.So, whether you’re looking for a dog friendly holiday for 2021 or if you’re local to us and looking for a change of scenery for you and your dog, then why not take a look at our list of the fantastic dog walks around the Norfolk Broads and the surrounding area?

The Cotswold Way, in particular, showcases the best that the Cotswold has to offer. It runs from Chipping Campden all the way to Bath, and provides a number of circular walks, ideal for lovers of the countryside, outdoors, and of the classic British pubs that yet more character to the area. Not all breeds can show their happiness in this way though. Dogs with very short or curly corkscrew tails might not be able to wag in a circular fashion due to their limited range of motion. It’s also important to note that not all dogs use helicopter tail to express their joy.

The treatment for this condition depends on its severity. If detected early, it can sometimes be treated using protective padding and medication. However, in severe cases, or when conservative treatments don’t work, tail amputation might be the only option. A dog walking in circles can have many different causes, some positive and some negative, and it can be hard to know if our pets are just being silly gooses or if something more serious is at play.
