2 places on our list here — pubs that let the dog in, walks from the village. Every verdict below was checked by a human — the stamp shows when.
A country inn in the Lorton valley between Cockermouth and Crummock Water, with Jennings ales and a bar got up like a gamekeepers lodge around an open fire. Dogs are allowed in the bar as long as they are on a lead; the restaurant is a separate matter.
Know a Lorton pub, cafe or place to stay that lets dogs in? Tell us and we will go and check it.
ADD A PLACEA low, mostly level circuit of the quiet north-east corner of Crummock Water, with two short climbs and no fell top to worry about. From the Lanthwaite Wood car park near Scale Hill the forest road drops through conifers above the River Cocker to the lake head, then a rough shore path runs south past the boathouse and through High Wood, crossing three footbridges and a ford. The return climbs to the old Victorian viewpoint on Brackenthwaite Hows, with a short stretch of narrow roadside verge past Lanthwaite Green where a lead is essential. There is shingle at the boathouse and again where the path runs onto the beach, so a dog can swim most of the way round.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
