Stumbled across THE most beautiful place to walk Biscuit today, and it's only 5 miles away, it's so huge there's no worry about silly out of control off lead dogs as you can see for miles and easily avoid other walkers if needed. Loads of hills and long grass and marshes etc.. literally so beautiful and takes about 4 hours to get around to I've got one very tired pup! Perfect day Big Grin It's kinda creepy as it's the grounds of an old mental institution, didn't bring my camera but here are a few internet photos

Wow, it's definitely a beautiful place. Shame you only just found it, you could've walked Biscuit there in the dark on Halloween, eh? Laughing

Wow, that looks really nice. Nothing even approaching that here. Our mental institutions look much more menacing!

That's where it is Big Grin my friend's mum used to work there and has loads of crazy stories to tell about the place skull I love that sort of stuff though, and if Biscuit gets to run around like a mad thing too then bonus! She was scared of the lake though and tip toed around all of the marsh Laughing oh and I had to carry her across an old bridge Rolling Eyes

Apparently two children did actually drown in the lake years and years ago Straight Face Sad but she'll make me carry her over puddles, she's just a big wuss haha she's stubborn as a mule and I'll be up to my ankles while she's stood at the other side giving me puppy dog eyes! If she gets muddy feet she will sit and give herself a manicure for the next 15 minutes Laughing
