Lovely mooch around Arley Hall & Gardens today with Meg and Helio's friends Nori and Nova. And we spotted Dog Confidence superstar Rocco on the cover of the guide! Arley Hall & Gardens is very dog friendly - all on lead and they are allowed in the cafe and shop. Highly recommend for a relaxing walk. Where are your favourite places to walk your dogs and why ? Recommend in the comments below.
