At our Saunton, we understand the importance of quality time with your pets, and what better way to bond with your furry companion than by exploring the outdoors together? Right on our doorstep is the South West Coast Path, so when you stay at our Saunton Apartments with your pets it's the perfect excuse to get out for a stomp.
Before setting off on your walk, here are some useful tips to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience:
Plan your route
The South West Coastal Path spans over 630 miles and offers a variety of routes for all abilities. Research your options and choose a route that suits you and your dog's fitness levels. Be sure to check the weather forecast and tide times before setting off.
Stay on the path
The South West Coastal Path is a designated walking route, so it's important to stick to the marked path to avoid damaging the surrounding natural environment. Dogs must be kept on a lead in certain areas to protect wildlife and farm animals, so be sure to check signage along the route.
Respect Others
The South West Coastal Path can be a busy place, so it's important to be courteous to other walkers, runners and cyclists. Keep your dog under control at all times and be prepared to give way to other users of the path.
Be Prepared
Pack for your adventure with plenty of water for both you and your furry friend, as well as any necessary supplies such as dog waste bags and a first-aid kit. It's also a good idea to wear appropriate footwear and clothing for the terrain and weather.
Enjoy the journey
The South West Coastal Path offers some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, so take your time and enjoy the journey with your furry companion. Take breaks along the way to rest and take in the stunning views. Remember, it's not about the destination, but the journey that counts.
What path will you choose?
Now that you're all set, let's explore some of the best routes to take with your dog along the South West Coastal Path.
The 3.5-mile route from Saunton Sands to Braunton Burrows is a perfect option for those staying in our Saunton apartments. Starting from the stunning Saunton Sands beach, you'll make your way through the sand dunes and onto the coastal path, with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean along the way. The route leads to Braunton Burrows, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where you can enjoy a picnic with your furry friend and take in the beautiful natural scenery.
Dog Friendly Apartments
At our Saunton apartments, we welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes, so why not take advantage of the stunning South West Coastal Path and explore the great outdoors with your furry friend? We hope you have a fantastic time exploring the beauty of the South West and creating unforgettable memories with your beloved pet.
