Dog-friendly Bakewell and around

The Castle

DE45 1DU

Big stone pub on Castle Street with a walled beer garden that catches the afternoon sun. Greene King lists it as dog friendly, and it is the easiest place in town to get a table outside with a dog and a plate of food. Rooms are available upstairs, but the dog policy for bedrooms is not published, so ask when booking.

The Manners

DE45 1EP

Local's pub on Haddon Road, away from the coach parties, with two en-suite letting bedrooms above. Robinsons, who own it, flag it as dog friendly, and the beer garden and bar both work for a muddy dog. Whether dogs are allowed in the two bedrooms is not stated, so ring before you book a night.

The Rutland Arms Hotel

DE45 1BT

In the bar In the dining room Treats

Georgian coaching inn standing over Bakewell's square, and the kitchen where the pudding was supposedly invented by accident. Dogs are welcomed throughout, dining rooms included, and arrive to treats and a bed in the dog-friendly bedrooms. A maximum of two dogs per room at £20 a night, booked directly with reception.

The Wheatsheaf

DE45 1DS

Pub and pantry a few doors up from the market square, and the most straightforwardly dog-friendly door in the middle of Bakewell. The pub describes itself as family and dog-friendly, so the bar is the place to sit with a wet spaniel after the Monsal Trail. Handy for the Thursday market and the cattle market beyond it.

1:00TIME

40mCLIMB

80%OFF-ROAD

Two and a half easy miles beside the Wye, an hour at most, on level gravel paths and a short stretch of pavement through the town. Start from the Bakewell Recreation Ground car park by the bridge, which is pay-and-display and the best bet in a town where parking is scarce on market Mondays. The river is slow and shallow at the weir and dogs swim there constantly, the packhorse crossing at Holme Bridge is a quiet spot to dry off, and only the last few hundred yards along Buxton Road need a lead for traffic.

4:00TIME

110mCLIMB

100%OFF-ROAD

Off-lead allowed

Nine and a half miles there and back on the old Midland Railway line, four hours at a stroll, and level enough that the only work is the distance itself. It starts at Hassop Station two miles north of Bakewell, where the pay car park has a cafe and bookshop and fills by mid-morning at weekends; the four lit tunnels come in the second half. The surface is smooth grit the whole way, which makes this the kindest walk in Derbyshire for an old or arthritic dog, but it is shared with cyclists and horses, so close control matters more than a lead, and there is no water on the trail itself between the stations.

3:30TIME

250mCLIMB

Just under seven miles and about three and a half hours, climbing through Manners Wood and over Ball Cross before dropping into Chatsworth park and returning across Calton Pastures. Start at the Bakewell Recreation Ground car park; if you would rather halve the climbing, park at Chatsworth itself and walk it the other way round. Chatsworth requires dogs on a lead everywhere in the park and garden because of the deer and grazing sheep, dogs are barred from the farmyard and playground though there are tie-up posts outside, and there are drinking stations at the stables courtyard.

Attraction DOGS WELCOME

The Monsal Trail

Eight and a half miles of the old Midland Railway between Coombs Road at Bakewell and Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale, level, compacted and completely traffic-free. Four long tunnels are lit during daylight hours, and ramps at Bakewell, Hassop, Great Longstone and Miller's Dale mean wheelchairs, pushchairs and stiff old dogs get the same walk as everyone else. Dogs are welcome the length of it; keep to close control where the trail runs between grazing fields.

Five and a half miles and about three hours over the limestone plateau to the best-preserved lead mine in the Peak, returning through Great Shacklow Wood. Start at the roadside spaces by Sheepwash Bridge in Ashford-in-the-Water, which take a dozen cars and no more, so an early arrival or a walk out from Bakewell is wise. This is walled sheep pasture the whole way with squeeze stiles a broad-chested dog will need lifting through, the Magpie Mine site has open shafts fenced but unroofed and no dog should be loose there, and the only reliable water is the Wye at the end of the wood.

A four and a half mile circuit of about two and a half hours that drops from the Monsal Head viewpoint into the dale, follows the Wye upstream past Cressbrook and comes back over the viaduct on the Monsal Trail. The steep path down from Monsal Head is loose limestone and hard on the knees in the wet; the car park at Monsal Head is pay-and-display, small, and full by ten on a summer Sunday. Cattle and sheep graze the dale bottom and the meadows above Upperdale, so a fixed lead of no more than two metres is required near stock and on the access land above the dale from 1 March to 31 July for the ground-nesting birds; the river gives shallow, easy drinking all the way along.

Dogs are only allowed if you take the whole hostel on YHA's Exclusive Hire, and even then not in the bedrooms, on the furniture or in the kitchen, and on a lead in the grounds.

The dales are part of the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve where livestock graze large areas and dogs are asked to be on the lead, the shallow pools in Bradford Dale are the best dog swimming in the White Peak, and there are stone stiles that a big dog will need help over.

Start from roadside parking in Youlgreave; the alternative is the small free pull-in on the lane below Robin Hood's Stride, which holds about eight cars. Field paths cross sheep and cattle pasture almost continuously so a two-metre lead is needed near stock, the packhorse route has steep stone steps at Cratcliffe, and dogs can drink from the Bradford at the end but not on the high ground.

Dogs are welcome everywhere in the garden and park but must be on a lead at all times because of the sheep and deer, and there are drinking stations by the toilets and in the Stables courtyard.
