Book SynopsisUniquely combining the joys of camping with the delights of walking with your dog, within the pages of this book can be found a variety of campsites, all of which welcome dogs, with some providing special facilities for your canine companion. All of the campsites are located very close to footpaths and walking trails, and, in addition to identifying the distinctive characteristics of the area, there are detailed instructions for two walks of varying lengths from each campsite, providing the opportunity to explore the area in the immediate vicinity of the campsite, and appreciate the diverse environments to be found in Britain. So, if you like camping and love taking along your dog, but aren’t sure where to go, this book will help you find the perfect location for a weekend jaunt; the facilities you need to explore a region – or even to tour Great Britain!
