BAHA

Bowness · LA23 3EB
No reviews yet

An Asian barbecue restaurant and bar on three floors at 18 Ash Street, a minute up from the Bowness piers. Its own dog page puts the welcome on the ground floor: "Our ground-floor bar is a laid-back spot where you can eat, drink, and relax with your pup", with dogs welcome during all daytime hours, water bowls and treats. Small dogs are also taken upstairs in the first-floor restaurant. They suggest coming before 1pm or after 4pm at weekends if your dog is nervous, which is honest advice for a busy three-storey building.

Livestock — leads on

A steep short pull out of Town End to a small dammed tarn on the shoulder of Heron Pike, with Grasmere and Rydal Water both laid out below. The climb goes up through the birches behind Dove Cottage and past the old Greenhead Gill workings, all on a made path but relentless for the first half hour. The tarn is shallow and reedy and the ground beside it is boggy after rain. The descent turns down Greenhead Gill and comes out on the A591 by the Swan, so watch the last few hundred yards for traffic.

Livestock — leads on Water bowls

Two miles on a gravelled all-ability path right round the tarn, fifty minutes at a stroll and the flattest famous view in the Lakes. The National Trust car park is the only sensible start; it is paid, it holds around 130 cars and it is full by half past ten on any fine day, with a mobility vehicle available in summer for those who need it. The surface suits old and short-legged dogs, the tarn has several easy shingle entries for a swim, but Belted Galloways and Herdwicks graze the surrounding enclosures and the path is shared with pushchairs and wheelchairs the whole way, so this is a lead walk from car park to car park.

The lakeside circuit south out of Bowness Bay, and the only easy way to get a dog to the water's edge in the middle of town without crossing the launch slipways. From the Glebe Road car park the promenade runs north to the piers, then back south across the Glebe to the point at Cockshott, where the shore path swings round to face Belle Isle. Ferry Nab and the Windermere Ferry slip close the loop, and the return leg is along Ferry Nab Road. Two of the three named sections carry a lead requirement under the council's dogs order, so treat this as an on-lead walk throughout.

The flat village loop in Grasmere, done on the days when Easedale is under cloud.

At Goody Bridge you cross and come back along Easedale Road to Broadgate. The council's dogs order excludes dogs from the Broadgate Meadow play area and the High Fieldside play area, both in the village, but puts no lead requirement on the meadow or the riverside path.

The high point of Grizedale Forest at 314m, and the one summit in the central Lakes you can reach entirely on forest track and waymarked path with no sheep on it. From the visitor centre the route climbs west on the Silurian Way, then turns up a stony path through the plantation to a bare rock top with the Coniston fells laid out west and Windermere east. Forestry England's own dog code asks only that dogs stay close and in sight and that you use a lead if the dog does not always come back. The return drops north-east through the sculpture trail ground back to the centre.

Livestock — leads on Off-lead allowed

Ten miles and close to five hours up the quiet western shore of Windermere, through the Claife plantations to Latterbarrow's cairn and back past Wray Castle - forest track for much of it, so it drains well and works in winter. Start at the Ferry House on the west bank, reached by the Windermere car ferry from Bowness, which takes dogs at no extra charge and saves the long drive round by Newby Bridge. Almost all of it is enclosed woodland and track where a dog can be off the lead, there is lake access at High Wray Bay for a swim, but the two fields below Latterbarrow are grazed and the forest is worked - keep to the lead if machinery is out.

Eight thousand acres of forest between Coniston Water and Windermere, threaded with waymarked trails, sculpture and easy-access paths from the visitor centre. Dogs are allowed on the trails and there is a cafe and shop at the centre; the forest is worked, so expect timber lorries on the roads.

Coniston · LA21 8AD

John Ruskin's house on the east shore of Coniston Water, reached by the narrow lane round the head of the lake or by the Coniston Launch from the village. Its visitor page states that dogs are welcome on a lead in the gardens and in the Terrace Cafe, which is the practical point: the eight gardens run to 250 acres of hillside with woodland trails above and level paths below, and the cafe looks straight across the water to the Old Man. The house itself is not covered by that welcome. Parking is free for visitors and the cafe is open 10am to 4pm daily.

Windermere Lake Cruises

Bowness · LA23 3HE
No reviews yet

The scheduled boats out of Bowness Pier, running north to Waterhead at Ambleside and south to Lakeside, and the single most useful thing on this lake if you want a linear walk with a dog. Their published policy is that well-behaved dogs travel free on every cruise and on the self-drive boats, with no need to add the dog to an online booking. A lead is required for the whole journey and dogs must stay off the seats. The Ambleside sailing lets you walk one shore and ride back rather than retracing the A591.
