Derbyshire is one of England’s great dog walking counties, and one of the most accessible. The Peak District National Park sits within two hours of more than half the population of England, which makes a dog-friendly farm stay here one of the most practical escapes in the country. The Dark Peak in the north offers serious moorland walking on the gritstone edges and open access land of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow, the kind of landscape that suits larger, energetic breeds, while The White Peak in the south is less challenging with limestone dales, riverside paths along the Dove and the Wye, ancient green lanes, and village footpaths that suit dogs of every size and age. Farm stays in Derbyshire place you in the middle of this variety, with direct access to footpaths from the property and the space to let a dog relax and recuperate between walks. Just remember, that dogs must be kept on leads around livestock on all farm properties.
