DOG FRIENDLY UK BREAKS

HIT THE ROAD FOR A UNIQUE ADVENTURE THIS SPRING EXPLORING EPIC NORTHUMBERLAND WITH OVERLAND ADVENTURES.

Northumberland is a popular destination for dog lovers, thanks to the pet-friendly rugged coastlines, remote rolling hills, and pooch-welcoming pubs. But it’s a big county so where do you start? And where do you end? We recommend a whistle-stop weekend following The NLAND250 route – with a little wild camping adventure thrown in.

The NLAND250 is a fully mapped-out epic road trip that takes you to the heart of Northumberland’s majestic landscapes (through Tweedmouth in the North, Kielder in the West, Allenheads in the South, and much of Northumberland’s rugged coast).

You can, of course, explore the route on foot or on a bicycle but, for a truly unique experience with your four-legged friend, climb behind the wheel of one of Overland Adventure’s iconic Land Rover Campers and set up camp under the stars.

Two iconic Land Rover Defenders, fully equipped with rooftop tents

An adventure with Overland Adventures is effortless. Hire your Land Rover Defender 100 XS from the team and it comes equipped with either one or two Howling Moon rooftop camping safari-style tents, foam mattresses, awning, sleeping bags, duvets and ladders to ensure a comfy, warm bed is never more than a rung or two away. And whilst you’re sleeping on the roof, your pet snoozes comfortably in the doggie hammock on the backseat of the Defender. The rooftop tents and awning are the best quality you can get, made to withstand the toughest weather and keep you snug under the stars no matter what the outside world is doing. Best of all, they take only minutes to set up –Overland Adventures will even send you how-to-videos and links to make sure you’re more than ready before the off.

All the camping equipment you need – perfect for first-time adventurers

You don’t have to be a seasoned explorer to enjoy an epic Northumberland weekend with Overland Adventures. On the contrary. You get copious camping equipment alongside your rooftop home – all tried and tested over and over again by the team. Chairs, table, fridge/freezer, Fire Pit/BBQ, toilet and even hot water – enabling you to pitch up anywhere (if you’re wild camping, just make sure you know the rules). Of course, if you need dog-friendly campsite suggestions, the team will be only too happy to point you in the right direction.

The real magic of an Overland Adventure is the live-without-limits independence it affords you. It’s not a matter of handing over the keys and leaving you to it. The Overland Adventure team have over 30 years’ experience in adventuring in the Great Outdoors – with dogs of their own - and will give you all the knowledge, route guidance and technical savvy you need to enjoy a Northumberland trip making memories with your dog for a lifetime.
