Holiday Archives - Dog Walking | Kirkby in Ashfield

Yesterday we went exploring our Roman Heritage.

Starting off at Birdoswald Roman Fort, we learnt how to be a Roman Soldier – a great talk by a Legionnaire (interspersed with doggie voiceover from Bella and Ozzie!) before exploring the Fort itself. After refreshments in the café, we had a wander along a good length of Hadrian’s Wall.

Roman Dogs

Moving on, we stopped at Walltown where the boys went off to look in the Roman Army Museum while me and the four legged ones explored the crags and walked along a very undulating section of the wall. The view from the top was amazing!

What a view!

After dinner in the pub, we returned to the cottage where the dogs all chilled before sleeping like babies….zzzzz

Just Chillin’

Well, here we are in glorious Northumberland.

We’re staying in a lovely little cottage not far from Kielder Water. There are wildlife cameras hooked up to the TV where we have been fascinated by the local Badgers and Barn Owls and there are plenty of birds to see taking advantage of the feeders in the garden too….. Siskins, Robins, Greenfinches, Chaffinches and many more.

The dogs had a whale of a time walking yesterday from Leaplish waterside park. We walked around the perimeter of Bull Cragg Peninsula, stopping to play in the water wherever possible. We didn’t see any ospreys but I’m sure we will be back there later in the week……the chip cobs at the pub afterwards were amazing! Big fat chunky chips….just how I like them!

Off to explore some more………….Back soon!
