A budget business hotel on First Point Business Park at Balby, three miles from the city centre with free on-site parking and no height barrier on the car park, which matters if you are travelling in a van. Its published pet policy is one of the most detailed of any hotel in the borough: £15 per dog per night, a maximum of two dogs, all pets welcome apart from dangerous dog breeds, no pet left alone in a room and no pets in the dining room, with any damage including carpets charged and a pet policy to sign at check-in. The hotel keeps dog bowls and some treats behind the desk and has a small patio at the back for a last thing at night. Its own page is honest about the surroundings: this is lead-type walking round the hotel, with the Lakeside circuit a few minutes away by car, and it points guests at the Maple Tree up the road for a pint with the dog because the hotel restaurant is out of bounds.

THE SMALL PRINTIHG pet policy for this hotel: "You will be asked to sign our pet policy. Pets are welcome apart from dangerous dog breeds. Pets are not to be left alone in rooms. Pets should not be taken into the dining room. Each dog is 15 per night. Any damage including carpets will be charged." Maximum two pets, no weight limit. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant area.

Black Carr Plantation

3.3 MI · 1H 40M · 90% OFF-ROAD

Twenty hectares of plantation in the parish of Cantley-with-Branton, laid out around two hundred years ago as private hunting woodland on a seven thousand acre estate and closed to the public for most of its life. The Forestry Commission took it on in 1953 for timber and still kept people out; the council bought it in 1994 and opened it for the first time. Timber production continues alongside conservation work, so expect forestry rides, stacked logs and the occasional closed compartment rather than a manicured park. It is council open space under the Doncaster PSPO with no lake and no livestock, so no standing lead requirement, and it is quiet enough that you will often have the whole wood to yourself.

Cantley Park to Sandall Beat

DN4 6HD
2.7 MI · 1H 20M · 80% OFF-ROAD

The council's own three and a half mile trail from Cantley Park north through the edge of the housing and into Sandall Beat Wood, which links the two biggest green spaces on the east side of Doncaster in one go. Cantley Park itself has woodland, a pond, a pitch and putt course that costs nothing if you bring your own clubs, and a skate park; the trail leaves it and works north across Sandall Beat Road into the wood. Under the Doncaster PSPO the lead goes on for the footpath round the Cantley Park pond and dogs stay out of the fenced play areas, but the rest is open. There is parking at Cantley Park itself, which Sandall Beat's own small car park often lacks by mid-morning at a weekend.

Cusworth Hall parkland

DN5 7TU
1.2 MI · 45M · 95% OFF-ROAD

Eighteenth-century landscaped parkland below a Grade I hall two miles north-west of Doncaster city centre, with a chain of ornamental lakes in the valley and long grass slopes above them. The council's own page for the park names walks with the dog as one of the things it is for, and the parkland is open every day of the year even when the museum is shut. Under Doncaster's dog control PSPO the lead comes on for the footpaths that run round the lakes, and dogs must stay out of the fenced children's play areas; the open grass between the hall and the lakes is off lead. Parking is card or contactless only after repeated thefts from the machines, from £1.20 for an hour up to £7.00 over four hours, and the barrier locks at 9pm.
