At Pets Love Fresh, we believe every holiday should be a family adventure, including your dog! Here’s your go-to guide for dog-friendly walks, stays, and eats in the Peak District.
Dog Friendly Walks in the Peak District
From gentle trails to challenging hikes, the Peak District is pawradise for dog lovers.
Dovedale and the Stepping Stones
A popular and scenic walk with gentle terrain, perfect for dogs of all sizes. The famous stepping stones across the River Dove are fun for photos (and splashing!).
Mam Tor and the Great Ridge
This iconic walk offers stunning views and is great for active dogs. The route is well-trodden, with grassy ridges and wide open space to stretch those legs.
