Cleo

A walk that starts and ends at the pub is the best shape of walk. Water and treats at both ends.

Bonnie

A huge garden, a play area, a mini golf course and the Sunday roast smell. Where do I start? Everywhere.

The pawrents

A cosy pub on Ditchling Road, with a big garden, an open fire and a Sunday roast worth the drive. Dogs are welcome inside and out, on a lead, with water and treats. A 5.5 mile loop starts at the door. The route notes are a few years old.
