• Cardinham Woods. We have mentioned the café here above and the woods are excellent for dog walks too. There are also pushchair friendly trails too so all the family can have a great day out.

• Camel Trail. Whether you bring bikes, hire them or just walk the camel trail, we suggest you do it. From Bodmin to Wadebridge, Wadebridge to Padstow or the whole trip you wont be disappointed, with pubs and cafes in Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow mostly being dog friendly you will have a great day out.  If you do Bodmin to Waidbridge or Waidebridge to Bodmin, a small amount of the trail is through the town with traffic. If you start at Wadebridge and go to Padstow you enter at the edge of town and don’t need to worry about traffic until you arrive at padstow.

These are dog friendly year-round!

• Hannafore, Looe. Just a stone's throw from us a great beach for dogs with rock pools a plenty. Toilets are close by too and there are some great places to eat with the dog.

• Seaton, Downderry. A fantastic beach for dogs to run and make new doggy friends.

• Lantic Bay, along the coast path from Polperro. You will have seen this beach in the photo of Meg on the bench with Lantic bay behind her. Not only is this a very popular photo, but a very popular beach. Often not busy either. You will need to walk to this bay via the coast path and you will need to take food and water with you. There are no toilets here and we recommend you take something to shade your pooch as it can get very hot.

• Whitsand Bay, Torpoint. This beach is perfect for dogs. With a climb down its not idea for people unsteady on their feet. There are lifeguards on duty every day during the summer and it's perfect for swim. This is a long beach and when the tide's out your dog will have no problem in tiring themselves out.
