Whether you're planning a weekend escape or a day out with your furry companion, Ellesmere has plenty to offer. One of the top highlights is The Mere - Ellesmere, a stunning lake surrounded by walking trails and open parkland. It’s open 24 hours, making it ideal for early morning strolls or sunset walks with your dog. The peaceful waterside paths and grassy areas provide ample space for dogs to explore and stretch their legs in nature’s playground. 

For a bite to eat, The Boat House is a dog-friendly British restaurant located right by the water. With rustic decor and an airy atmosphere, it’s a great spot to relax after a walk. Dogs are welcome in designated areas, and the outdoor seating offers lovely views of the lake.
