1.

The connoisseur doggo: After a walk through the historic market town of Masham, head to the Black Sheep Brewery.  Sample a pint of ale or enjoy a hearty Yorkshire lunch, in the Bar and Kitchen or the outdoor seating area with your trusty companion by your side keeping an eye on your intake.

The adventurous doggo: How Stean Gorge in Nidderdale is the perfect pit-stop for adventurous dogs and their owners. After exploring the dramatic gorge, visit the glass-floored cafe and enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal or a slice of cake whilst enjoying the view. Although, we can’t be responsible for wet noses popping up at the table.

The stylish seaside doggo: Relax at The Bareca in Scarborough after a dog walk along the beach. Sandy, sea-salt furry manes? No fear - there’s even a dog wash for sandy paws! Enjoy Mediterranean-style pizzas or a barista coffee while your dog enjoys the social atmosphere and perhaps a cheeky treat of their own.
