Dogs like Shropshire! - and with 3,500 miles of walkies available it’s easy to see why. But if you are having difficulties knowing which walk to take here’s a book that will help you find some of the best dog friendly routes in the county.

Written from the viewpoint of her beloved Kelpie/Border Collie cross, Boomerang, Karen has made this book not only useful, with walks for every ability and whim, but charming to read. The walks contained in the book range from 1 mile (or 45 minutes) to 7.5 miles (or half a day) and include stops for water, pork pies and even beer, keeping both dogs and their owners happy.

Other useful information includes suggestions of areas where dogs can run free, maps including suggestions for places to stop to eat and drink, find water to play in and for owners to sit down and take in the surroundings.
