Dog Walks With A Difference
Summer is a great time to get out and about exploring coast and country with family, friends and, of course, your dogs.
If you’re looking for days out ideas that will suit all members of your party or looking for a day out that includes a great dog walk, some lovely scenery and then a leisurely ride back to where you started from, then try combining a walk with a ride on a steam railway.
Plus 2 Dogs has scoured the websites of many steam railways and selected a few choice ones that welcome dogs and could offer you the opportunity to walk one way and then catch the steam train back; some of the railways even have information on their websites on local walk routes which will tie in with their train service. Whilst dogs travel free on many services, others charge a nominal fee per dog, ranging from £1 up to £2.50, check individual websites for details.
