Kick start your day with a tasty breakfast at your dog-friendly accommodation, before heading out to explore the South East. Enjoy dog walks along the stunning South Downs Way for breathtaking views or head to the Surrey Hills to hike through ancient woodlands and wander down scenic trails like Box Hill. If you're a fan of Disney, you'll want to visit Ashdown Forest - the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh! Here, you can have long, tranquil walks with your four-legged friends.

For coastal canines, visit dog-friendly beaches like Camber Sands, West Wittering, and Botany Bay. Or, if you fancy learning a bit of history, take a day trip to discover historic sites and castles. In the region, you have Hever Castle - Anne Boleyn's childhood home, Leeds Castle, and Dover Castle. All of which welcome furry friends to explore their expansive grounds and parklands.

Speaking of nature, there are many gardens to explore when you visit the South East. This wonderful area of the UK is home to beautiful gardens with scenic trails. You can wander around the lovely Sheffield Park and Garden in East Sussex, Mote Park in Kent, or the popular RHS Garden Wisley. The RHS Garden Wisley actually hosts special dog-friendly days where pets can venture around the gardens too!

When you're in need of a refuel, stop by The Woolpack (Kent), or The Ship Inn (West Sussex) for a warm welcome and a delicious meal. You'll find many dog-friendly pubs will happily give your pup a fuss with water bowls and snacks to help them feel relaxed.
