Let your doggy lead the way, as no matter which way your Peak District path wanders, you are bound to end up somewhere fantastic and gorgeous. The Peak District is home to the daddy of all walking trails, the Pennine Way. But there are also many more, shorter walks that you and your pooch can venture out on, on a daily basis from your holiday cottage. Climb to Kinder Scout, the highest point in England, or see if you can find any traces of the legendary wallabies in The Roaches.
If you want to know where the coolest places to go bounding with the hound are, or where to enjoy a few shorter quieter walks if your dog is small or old, pad over to our full guide to the best dog walks in the Peak District.
