But once you leave your familiar routes there is always the worry of where you might suddenly find a field full of sheep, or a busy road, not to mention the difficulty of knowing which pubs and cafes will welcome you both.
Here is a collection of 20 tried and tested circular walks with plenty of opportunities for your dog to roam safely off lead. The routes vary in length from 2½ to 6 miles and introduce dogs and their owners to Lincolnshire's glorious countryside; lush Vales, a wetland habitat in the Fens, coastal walks by the Wash, woodland in the Wolds and wonderful moorland in the north of the county.
All dog owners know that walking is not just about spring and summer. It's about walking all year round and watching the seasons change. Lincolnshire offers you a perfect combination of freedom and adventure.
