1. Scafell Pike<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Lake District\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"PeopleFor those who live for a challenging ascent and those all-important \u2018summit selfies\u2019, Scafell Pike is the ultimate dog-friendly hike. Standing at 978 meters, Scafell Pike is the highest point in England and offers a rugged, boulder-strewn terrain that will make you feel like you\u2019ve stepped into another world. This popular mountain hike for canine companions starts at Wasdale Head, where a steep but well-defined path leads you through the dramatic heart of the Lake District.<\/h4>\n

Be prepared for a workout: the final stretch involves navigating a vast plateau of jagged rocks that can be tough on sensitive paws, so it\u2019s best reserved for dogs with a good level of fitness and perhaps a pair of protective booties. Safety is paramount when tackling a peak this iconic, so keep your furry friend on a lead at all times. Be aware that local Herdwick sheep are famous residents here.<\/h4>\n

Once you\u2019ve conquered the \u2018Pike\u2019 and soaked in the 360-degree views, head back down to the Wasdale Head Inn, a legendary climbers’ pub that welcomes both walking boots and tired paws with equal enthusiasm.<\/h4>\n

Bodelva, Cornwall<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"EdenReferred to as the \u2018Eighth Wonder of the World\u2019 by the Times when first opened, the Eden Project in Cornwall proves that you don’t need a passport to take your pet on a tropical escape. While the humid Biomes themselves remain a dog-free zone to protect the delicate exotic plants, the vast outdoor gardens are a canine paradise.<\/h4>\n

You and your furry companion can trek through miles of winding paths that showcase temperate flora from around the globe, all while navigating the striking architecture of the bubbles nestled in the Cornish landscape.<\/h4>\n

The Eden Project has gone above and beyond to be truly pet-friendly. You\u2019ll find designated dog waste bins, water bowls scattered throughout the site, and even doggy ice cream available from the on-site caf\u00e9s. Plus, there\u2019s plenty of outdoor seating allowing you to refuel with a local pasty while your pup rests at your feet.<\/h4>\n
