Adventures are always better shared — especially with a wagging tail beside you.

We’ve designed and selected trips that welcome dogs wholeheartedly. That means relaxed trails, open spaces, gentle climbs, and plenty of spots to rest, sniff, and splash.

Top dog-friendly picks include:

  • Pembrokeshire Coast – cliff paths, sea air, and pup-welcoming pubs

  • Grasmere in the Lakes – calm waters, gentle hills, and pet-friendly inns

  • Dartmoor – endless moorland and big, wild skies

  • South Downs Way – soft meadows and woodland patches

  • Forest of Dean – shaded trails and sculpture stops

Your dog is part of the journey — and always welcome at Encounter.
