3 days in the Peak District with the dog
3 days For dog owners Built from visitor-rated places
This three-day trip starts gently in the Derbyshire Dales. Begin at Haddon Hall, hop 1.7 miles to The Bakewell Tart Shop for lunch (food hygiene rating 5/5), then drive 2.9 miles on to Chatsworth House. Days two and three range further afield, starting with a 39.1-mile drive to Dobroyd Castle and on to Touchstones. The last day takes in Wentworth Castle, lunch at Northern Perk (also rated 5/5 for hygiene) and Experience Barnsley Museum and Discovery Centre.
Travelling with the dog? Travelodge and Briar Court Hotel in Huddersfield are both listed as pet friendly, and the Travelodge is just 0.6 miles from Huddersfield station. Our data doesn't state a dog policy for the attractions, tea rooms or the two campsites, so ring ahead before you go. Pack a lead, a water bowl and plenty of water for the drives, and build in leg-stretching walks between stops. Arriving by train? Edale is the nearest station to the Peak District.

Day 1
Day one is short and easy: 1.7 miles from Haddon Hall to The Bakewell Tart Shop, then 2.9 miles on to Chatsworth House. Keep the dog on a lead and check each venue's dog policy before you visit, as our data doesn't state one.
Day 2
This is the longest drive of the trip, at 39.1 miles to Dobroyd Castle, so take water and stop for a leg-stretch walk with the dog on the way. It's then 7 miles on to Touchstones, which states disabled access. Neither venue lists a dog policy, so check before setting off.
Day 3
Drive 27.1 miles to Wentworth Castle, then 8.3 miles to Northern Perk (food hygiene rating 5/5) for lunch and 10.1 miles to Experience Barnsley Museum and Discovery Centre. Confirm ahead that dogs are welcome at the tea room and museum, and give yours a walk and a drink between stops.
