A Motorhome Paradise in the Heart of the UK
The Lake District isn’t just one of the most popular motorhome destinations in the UK — it’s a haven for dog owners too. With open landscapes, scenic walking trails, and pet-welcoming campsites, it’s the perfect getaway for the whole family — paws included.
Why Visit the Lake District in Your Motorhome (with Your Dog!)
Bringing your dog along on a motorhome holiday in the Lake District makes the adventure even more special. The region is bursting with:
- Miles of off-lead walks across fells, lakesides, and woodlands.
- Dog-welcoming pubs and cafes are in almost every town and village.
- Plenty of pet-friendly campsites, so your furry friend is always part of the journey.
There’s nothing quite like watching your dog paddle in Buttermere, stroll beside Windermere, or join you on a hike up Catbells.
Top Dog-Friendly Activities
- Walks around Derwent Water & Tarn Hows – Gentle routes with water access for a cooling dip.
