Looking for the paw-fect getaway with your pup? The Yorkshire Dales offers stunning scenery, rolling hills, and countless dog-friendly spots to explore. At Pets Love Fresh, we know your dog is part of the family, so we’ve rounded up the best dog-friendly walks, places to stay, and places to eat in this beautiful corner of the UK.
Dog Friendly Walks in the Yorkshire Dales
Whether you’ve got a high-energy spaniel or a laid-back lab, the Dales has a walk for every wagging tail.
1. Malham Cove & Gordale Scar
A spectacular limestone amphitheatre, Malham Cove is a must-visit. Dogs can roam (on leads near livestock), and there’s water to splash in and rocks to climb. Gordale Scar nearby adds an adventurous twist for braver pups and owners.
2. Aysgarth Falls
Three stunning waterfalls nestled in ancient woodland. It’s an easy stroll with plenty of shady spots and places to paddle.
3. Ingleborough from Clapham
For more energetic dogs, the climb to Ingleborough (one of the Three Peaks) is a rewarding day out with views that’ll have you both stopping to sniff the air.
Top Tip: Always pack water, treats, and poo bags—and don’t forget some Pets Love Fresh treats to refuel your four-legged explorer!
Dog Friendly Places to Stay
The Yorkshire Dales is bursting with cosy cottages and welcoming inns that’ll treat your dog like royalty.

3. Airbnbs & Cottages Galore

Dog Friendly Places to Eat
