My friends! In this series of DOG FRIENDLY BRITAIN, I, Rocky the traveling bull terrier, will take you on journeys around the United Kingdom and show you adventures that you can take your dog in! On this latest adventure I revisit a small little piece of Essex that I had first seen back in 2016. Here’s a few cool snaps from that visit from three years ago. Now flash forward to now in 2019 and Danny and I found ourselves…
Howdy my friends! It’s your favorite traveling dog here, Rocky the Traveller. I always wanted to visit the Jurassic Coast ever since I first heard the name. The very words of ‘Jurassic Coast’ brought some cool but scary images into my little egghead. Images of dinosaur fossils scattered throughout the beaches of southern England. I even pictured a few of them neatly shaped like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Perhaps I even imagined a few raptors hanging around the beaches….
Lads and lasses we are on the tail-end of our first journey across the lovely and dog-friendly country known as France. We began the journey with a bit of exploring in Calais then off and did some sightseeing at the castles in Alsace and then up to the Normandie region for the D-Day experience. We are now going to finish this trip in style with an adventure on the tide island of the legendary Mont Saint-Michel. Mont Saint-Michel is called…
My adventures in the Normandy region continued on with a visit to the port city of Cherbourg, France. Only an hour away from our previous visit at Omaha Beach and just across the pond from Dorset, England (well, a 4-hour ferry ride anyway) the first thing I noticed when we visited the city was the abundance of boats! All kinds of boats called Cherbourg their home. We spent most of our first day strolling around the famous Port Chantereyne and admired…
Cons? What cons could there possibly be for traveling with your dog? You’re traveling with your best friend! Okay so picture it. There you are with your four-legged best friend and you’ve got your passport and your dog’s pet passport in your hand. You’re ready to take on the world! And believe me, it’s a wonderful world out there filled with tons of new scents, sights and of course food! Even better, the world is slowly catching on…
Hang on to your baguettes and hold your croissants because Rocky the Bull Terrier is exploring the fairytale city of Strasbourg, France. After a cross-country road trip through France, we arrived at our destination deep into the heart of Strasbourg. It was here where I experienced an everlasting infatuation with Strasbourg’s half-timbered houses and its old-world architecture. The city could be described as a perfect mix of Germany and France and you really do get two cultures for the price…
On the last leg of our Irish adventure we spent a day at the majestic Wicklow Mountains just south of Dublin. I craved wilderness and wanted nothing but the fresh air, the beautiful scenery and the sounds of nature. I wanted to be like a wolf in nature. Our trip through the Wicklow Mountain National Park took us through narrow roadways and past rolling hills and my goodness, what a view! I stuck my head out of the car…
