Securing a dog-friendly holiday spot can often be a bone of contention, with many locations keeping our furry friends on a tight leash. Yet, certain UK destinations stand out as paradises for dog devotees.

Whenever the summer weather finally hits it has me wishing I was right here." A mere stone's throw under three hours drive from the buzz of London, Wells offers 1.

4km of glorious sandy beach accessible to dogs throughout the year. The beach thoughtfully includes a dog-free area for the first 200 yards, providing a clean stretch for sandcastle enthusiasts, whilst beyond the pinewoods there lie boundless freedoms for canines to roam.
