The big diabetes week dog walk this June (13-19), invite your friends, family, neighbours and pets and join us for the first ever Big Diabetes Week Dog Walk!

You might decide to go for a solo stroll, a family-friendly weekend wander, organise a walk around a local park, or go for a more ambitious trek with friends.

Everyone can get involved, whether your human or canine but dogs are obviously welcome.

With this in mind we have put together some of the best places to take your beloved K9 friend and support Diabetic week.

3 Great place to walk your K9 friend

1. Blaise Castle Estate

Blaise Castle Estate is extremely popular with families, thanks to facilities such as refreshments, museum, buggy-friendly paths, epic children's play area and toilets. The first things you see when you leave the Kings Weston (free) car park are a huge grassy play area and hillock hiding a folly castle. Pathways lead past the impressive stately home and museum, through a wooded gorge that is ideal for stick hunting to a babbling brook – perfect for dogs and welly-wearers to splash in. If dog walking with a bit of mythical history thrown in is your thing, the fabled story of the Bristol Giants, Goram and Ghyston, tells how Bristol’s landscape was shaped. The myth alludes to landmarks which exist today, visit them for yourself – Goram’s Chair, Gorge and ‘tantrum’ footprint all lie in the grounds of Blaise Castle Estate. Address: Kings Weston Rd, Bristol BS10 7QS
