Sniff & Scamper: Dog-friendly activities in the Cotswolds
Unleash the Woof Pack: Dog-tastic Adventures in the Cotswolds
Calling all paw-ty animals and tail-wagging adventurers! Ditch the kibble bowl and swap the chew toy for a leash, because we’re sniffing out the most pup-tacular things to do in the Cotswolds with your furry bestie. Forget “no dogs allowed” snubs – these spots welcome four-legged friends with open paws and muddy puddles to splash in.
Dog-Friendly Destinations
Broadway Tower Country Park: Hike to the iconic Broadway Tower and bask in panoramic views while your pup sniffs out hidden squirrels. Trust me, the climb’s worth the tail wags and panoramas.
Cotswold Water Park: Unleash your inner water hound at this sprawling watery wonderland. Let your zoom across grassy meadows, and maybe even snag a rogue tennis ball from a passing human (no judgment!).
Batsford Arboretum: This leafy paradise is a dream for sniff-loving furballs. Wander through ancient trees, chase butterflies, and maybe even snag a cheeky picnic crumb or two (don’t tell the humans!).
Treat Your Pup to a Pawsome Pitstop
The Mousetrap Inn: This historic pub welcomes thirsty pups with open arms (and bowls of water). Relax by the crackling fire while your furry friend makes new pals and begs for dropped sausages.
Bibury Trout Farm: Let your pup channel their inner angler (minus the hook, of course) at this charming trout farm. Watch the graceful fish glide by, then reward your good boy with a post-adventure pub lunch.
Beyond the Walks and Wags
Cotswold Lavender: Frolic through endless fields of purple wonder, with your pup sniffing out the fragrant blooms like a canine aromatherapy expert. Just don’t blame them if they roll in it – lavender-scented fur is all the rage!
The Cotswolds Distillery: Channel your inner gin connoisseur (okay, maybe just sniff the juniper berries) at this award-winning distillery. Your pup can bask in the sunshine while you taste some of their delicacies.
Remember, fellow dog-loving adventurers
Always clean up after your pup – leave no muddy pawprints behind!
Pack plenty of water and treats for your furry friend.
Be mindful of other dogs and humans, especially if your pup is still learning leash manners.
Most importantly, let loose, have fun, and soak up the Cotswolds magic with your four-legged sidekick by your side. The pawsibilities are endless!
So there you have it, pups and their humans! Now go forth, explore, wag your tails, and make memories that will last a lifetime (or until the next squirrel chase, whichever comes first). Happy Cotswolds adventuring!
