Dog friendly

We love taking our dogs to the beach for some fun in the sun and a splash in the sea. We usually go to the beautiful West Wittering in West Sussex, but decided to try Camber Sands next door in East Sussex and check out the beach with the pooches.

It got a very definite paws up from Reina and Taffy who both had the best time there and slept all the way home. Read more about our day trip to Camber Sands with the pooches and maybe go and take a visit there yourself.

Everyone must have heard of Box Hill! Popular for school field trips, nature lovers, National Trust members and more recently cycling enthusiasts, as it was the venue for the more arduous stretch of the cycling road race in the 2012 London Olympics.

But for us it's one of our favourite places to bring the dogs for a good hearty walk, to pump some blood round your veins and give your lungs a good workout. Once you've climbed to the very top, you will feel like you're on top of the world!

Taking the dogs to the beach doesn't necessarily have to be just a Summer activity. We enjoy visiting our favourite beach at West Wittering with Reina and Taffy all year round, come rain or shine, and have a fantastic time there. At low tide the water recedes to leave a vast expanse of level sandy beach where the dogs can play endlessly and we go foraging for mussels and clams. At high tide just the pebbles remain exposed and we use this as our opportunity to sample the local fish 'n' chips while we watch the waves rolling in. I hope you enjoy reading this review of this fabulous dog-friendly beach at The Witterings, as much as I enjoyed writing it and choosing my favorite photos.
