We asked our readers for recommendations of the best dog-friendly places to visit for lunch in the county.
Here are the top seven – so you never have to leave your pup at home.
We did this in the same week as holiday letting agents holidaycottages.co.uk surveyed UK dog owners about their happiest holiday memories and favourite destinations to visit with their dogs.
When it comes to the UK destinations that will keep our pups entertained, the North West Highlands took the crown, followed by Cumbria and Northumberland in second and third places respectively.
The company rated each place mentioned using a unique ‘dog-friendly super score’, rating suitability, outdoor spaces and walkability out of 5 each, giving a total score out of 15.
Northumberland’s score was 13.92, with the company saying that the county’s vast, unspoiled landscapes are a paradise for dogs.
