Ordnance Survey Releases Dog-Friendly Short Walks Guides for Lake, Peak and Dales
Each pocket guide lists 10 short routes with clear directions, amenity markers, lead rules and water access notes.
Overview
- Ordnance Survey, which published the three guides on Thursday, is selling them in bookshops, outdoor retailers and at os.uk/dogwalks.
- The titles cover the Lake District, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, with 10 routes in each guide ranging roughly from 2 to 4.5 miles.
- Routes come with turn-by-turn directions plus practical details such as toilets, transport links, dog-friendly pubs and cafés, rest spots and where leads are required.
- Authors tested every walk with their own dogs and add dog-focused insight, including David Jordan with Elmo, Stephanie Cooke with Jim and Sally Outram with Ted.
- The guides aim to make planning low‑stress walks easier for owners while keeping dogs safe around water and wildlife, reflecting growing demand for reliable, accessible outdoor information.
