Get away from it all<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are lucky enough to have the week off work or can even take a long weekend break, why not take a holiday? \u00a0The UK offers a plethora of dog-friendly and family friendly accommodation to cater to a wide range of budgets. Many of these can be found online at sites such as Dogs Invited<\/a>, which offers dog-friendly accommodation in many locations around Britain. \u00a0If this appeals to you but you can’t get away at the moment, why not enter our<\/span> competition<\/a> for a chance to win a 2-night stay in early 2019 for 4 people plus dogs at Mineshop Cottages in Cornwall?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reconnect with nature<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you want to make the most of the great outdoors before the winter weather arrives, why not do some camping? Kids love telling spooky stories and toasting marshmallows around a campfire. Why not load up your car with camping gear and spend a couple of nights camping under the stars?\u00a0 We’ve got your\u00a0<\/span>camping checklist essentials<\/a> right here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Family<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit a dog-friendly beach<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Just because summer is over it doesn’t mean you can’t get sand between your toes still. Many beautiful beaches that were off limits to your four-legged friend during the summer become dog-friendly spaces during the autumn and winter months. \u00a0Check ahead of time to make sure that the beach you\u2019ll be going to does welcome dogs at this time of year. If it does, it\u2019s a great place for the whole family to spend some quality, relaxation time. A list of dog-friendly beaches in the UK is available right here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mother<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a hike<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

What dog doesn\u2019t love a walk? \u00a0Take him on a hike with the whole family, choosing an age-appropriate walk for the kids. \u00a0A great option for primary school age children is to follow a trail where children have to spot specific landmarks or unique features along the route. The popular \u201cMaking Tracks\u201d series of books by Joanne Wright allows you to do just that. Each region-specific book gives a collection of family friendly walks that encourage children to take the lead. \u00a0They give easy-to-follow instructions, child-friendly maps and a whole range of different things to look for on each walk.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Visit an English Heritage site<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

English Heritage offers over 150 properties that allow dogs to visit. \u00a0The kids will love exploring and a visit to a spooky castle at this time of year can get them in the mood for Halloween. \u00a0The dog will love walking around the spacious grounds that many of these properties offer, although most require the dogs to remain on a lead.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
