Beautiful scenic dog walk less than an hour away from Manchester named one of the best in the UK

A reservoir less than an hour away from Manchester has been named as one of the most beautiful dog walks in the UK.

As summer approaches, dog owners are on the lookout for the best walking spots to enjoy the sunshine with their furry companions.

And luckily, Greater Manchester is awash with picture-perfect walks to match all walking abilities.

Dovestone Reservoir

But if you’re willing to do a 40-minute drive from the city centre, Dovestone Reservoir has been named one of the most beautiful dog walks in the UK.

In a recent study by Petsure, the pet insurance company analysed social media data to identify the UK’s most Instagrammable dog walks.

The study, which looked at TikTok and Instagram posts, highlighted Dovestone Reservoir as a must-visit spot for dog lovers.

With its stunning scenery and ample space for dogs to roam, it’s no wonder that it has amassed nearly 10,000 social media posts combined.

The hashtag #DovestoneReservoir is filled with images of happy dogs exploring the beautiful landscape, further solidifying its place as a top destination.

One of the nicest walks in the area?

Situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Dovestone Reservoir offers a mix of picturesque views, serene water, and lush greenery.

It’s an ideal location for both leisurely walks and more vigorous hikes.

The area is dog-friendly and provides plenty of opportunities for your canine companion to enjoy new sights and smells.

Dovestone Reservoir isn’t just a beautiful spot; it’s also accessible and convenient for Manchester residents.

A short drive from the city, it provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, offering tranquility and natural beauty.

Whether you’re an avid hiker or just looking for a peaceful place to walk your dog, Dovestone Reservoir has something to offer.

For those who want to explore more options, the study also mentioned other beautiful dog walks across the UK, such as Roundhay Park in Leeds and Delamere Forest in Cheshire.

The top spot on the list went to Bushy Park in Greater London, known for its expansive open spaces and rich wildlife.
