There are many reasons why more people are turning to staycations this year. The cost of living crisis, a greater consciousness of the climate, and nervousness about the COVID-19 pandemic are all amongst them, but another great reason is the fact that, well, the UK has a lot to offer for intrepid explorers!
If you’re looking to take your four-legged friend on a camping adventure, then listen up to our top tips for pitching up with your pooch including dog-friendly facilities to look out for.
Walking the Coast Path is an enjoyable experience and if you have a four-legged friend who loves to walk (and what dog doesn’t!) there is nothing more special than taking a hike with your furry companion by your side. With over 630 miles of South West Coast Path to explore we have highlighted six circular walks (one for every 100 miles of the Trail) that are dog friendly because they take in a beach or pub that welcomes them – so plenty of excuses (if you needed them) to get out and explore the Path with your pooch.
As warmer days approach, the coast path is awakening with spring flowers and louder birdsong, enticing walkers to explore new routes. We caught up with our Ambassadog, Rudy, and his owner Laura to find out which route is a spring favourite for them.
The clocks have gone back and the weather is turning colder, but even so, many of us are dreaming of weekend beach-time. It’s the time of year when dog owners and their four-legged friends can access beaches, and with that comes a plethora of winter coastal walkies to be enjoyed. We caught up with our furry volunteer, Rudy the SWCP Ambassadog (@cornishrudy on Instagram), and his owner Laura to find out which routes they love best.
