Walk time with my favourite.

I go back to work tomorrow after having two weeks off (perks of being a teacher in training), so I figured I needed to make the most of my last day off and go for a lovely walk with my favourite, Pennie. 

Today is the last chance I'll get to take Pennie out for a walk on a weekday for about 6 weeks so i made the most of it. I took her to a lovely park near my house, which is a really lovely park and fortunately never seems to be that busy with other dogs, at least when we go it isn't.   

The park has lots of different wooded areas full of rabbits and squirrels, which is Pennies favourite part of her walks so this park is ideal. I wish I lived within walking distance of this park so that I could take her there more often without having to drive there. I would definitely would recommend this park! 

 

 

 

 

 

A Perfect Walk With My Favourites.

I've had such a hectic and busy week so I haven't really had much spare time, especially not really any spare time to do some blogging sadly. However, this afternoon I made sure I got to go on a lovely long walk with my cocker spaniel and boyfriend to clear my head and get some well needed fresh air. Even though the weather was horrible and it was throwing it down all afternoon we still had a lovely walk through some woods. We went a walk round one of my favourite spots in the North West, Roddlesworth Reservoir. 

I have previously blogged about this walk and how amazing it is, which can be found here. I really cannot recommend this walk enough, I've shown some of our close friends and they now love it too! It is a fantastic place to walk with your dog or simply to go for a nice walk and a picnic. The walk can either last an hour or 4 hours its up to you how long you want to be out walking for! But today due to the horrid weather we only walked round for a couple of hours.

We park up next to a pub called Hare & Hounds on Bolton Road in Abbey Village, which is  (super) dog friendly and always provides excellent service, and the staff are always very welcoming and the pub has a cosy feel to it. We have only had some snacks from there but we are always happy with the food when we go in. Also I think its wonderful when pubs allow dogs into them, as it really makes you feel so welcome, and we are definitely more likely to go in. I really don't understand why more pubs don't do it! 

I really love just walking round woods with my cocker spaniel and boyfriend, and I love feeling like I am far away from civilisation and in the middle of nowhere. This walk is perfect for that! I also love that this walk is never too busy so you aren't constantly watching out for other people and other dogs. Like I said, I cannot recommend this walk enough. We walked round one of the reservoirs and through the woods and then went to the pub! Perfect Friday. 

Pennie enjoying the pub! 

Cuerden Park: A great place for dog walking!

I walk my dog at this park often enough that I thought it warrants its own blog post. It is a great park near me called Cuerden Park, which is located in the North West of England. Technically it says it is located in Chorley, but I live in Lostock Hall in Preston and it takes me 10 minutes to drive to. The Park has approximately 650 acres of parkland, woodland, meadows, a lake, ponds and gardens maintained to a high standard by dedicated staff and volunteers.

The park also hosts a variety of different events which you can look at if you go to their website, I havent personally attended any of the events but the other month they did a mini camping festival which seemed pretty good and I wished I had gone to it, they also do lots of running events. There is also a Farmers marker on the last sunday of each month, which I still need to check out. 

The park is perfect to walk round either with or without a dog, and the walk can either be done quickly or can be done in a longer time, its up to you which kind of walk you want. There is also plenty of water for your dog to access incase it is a hot day, and there is also a large lake at one end of the park for people to either go fishing, have a picnic next to, or simply to just feed the ducks. There are several picnic benches all over the park to sit and enjoy some time in the park. The park is also great for runners, there is always someone running around the park whenever I go, and I myself have gone for a few runs round the park. 

I usually walk my dog round this park in the evenings when the park is quieter, mainly because there is also less children about at night as my dog is not a fan of children really. The park has a large wooded area too, which my dog loves running around and hunting rabbits in. 

If you live in the Chorley or Preston area I definitely recommend that you check out this park, I can guarantee your dog will love it!
