Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.A THOUGHTFUL SELECTION · 3 LOCAL GUIDES
Tyne and Wear offers three different dog breaks: city parks and woodland in Newcastle, a coastal stay in Tynemouth, or the Seaburn and Roker shoreline in Sunderland. Choose a base before joining the outings into a plan.
PLACES TO MAKE YOUR OWN
Each guide brings together researched stays, dog-friendly outings and practical details for that place.

Newcastle works as a city break with generous green-space outings rather than a schedule of indoor attractions. Stay near the centre, use Leazes Park for an easy first walk, then make Jesmond Dene your main second-day excursion. Its woodland paths offer a change from the busy streets, although some slopes call for a shorter route if your dog tires easily.

Sunderland’s Seaburn and Roker coast makes a practical seaside break with a park alternative when beach access is restricted. Both selected hotels are coastal rather than city-centre bases. Start with the promenade, check the current beach zones, and keep Roker Park as a separate shorter outing instead of relying on unrestricted summer sand time.

Tynemouth offers a coast break with two quite different ways to stay: a room at the Castle Inn or self-catering at Longsands Lodge. A seafront walk can fill the first afternoon, while the priory and castle provide a separate on-lead outing. Treat sand time as a seasonal bonus, checking the signed beach zones rather than assuming every stretch is open to dogs.
