Dog Days Out – Liverpool
Going on days out and having adventures with your dog is one of life’s greatest joys but knowing where to go can sometimes draw a bit of a blank.
At The Dog Witch, we promote that caring for your dog’s full being, that is, the mind, body and spirit will ensure they are happy, healthy and relaxed throughout their life with you.
Exercise, new experiences and stimulation of the mind, all help to aid your dog’s vitality.
With this in mind, our dog days out adventure series, provides you with already tried and tested ideas to go on with your dog.
This time round, The Dog Witch team enjoyed a day out in the city of Liverpool.
Liverpool is a vibrant and historic city in the northwest of England, known for its rich cultural heritage, iconic waterfront, thriving music scene, and passionate sports culture.
It’s also great for a day out with your dog!
We arrived at Liverpool Lime Street train station and made the short walk to The Ship and Mitre pub, which serves a variety of drinks, but it best known for its craft beer scene.
The pub is also super dog friendly, which is why it has become a favourite whenever we are in the city.
The Albert Dock
Liverpool was a major port city during the British Empire, and its docks served as a hub for international trade, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Albert Dock, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, remains an iconic symbol of this maritime history.
No visit to Liverpool would be complete without a visit to this fabulous area.
The Albert Dock area has lots to explore from pubs and restaurants to art galleries and museums and of course The Beatles.
Not all places are dog friendly, but it is a lovely area for a walk and to take is some of the sights and history.
Whilst there, we stopped for lunch at The Pump House, which is a Green King establishment and is dog friendly.
There is a wide selection of food and drinks on offer and there is also a kid’s menu if you have little ones.
Music and Culture
Of course, no visit to Liverpool can be complete without a visit to the famous Cavern Club, the pub itself is not dog friendly, but you can have a walk along the street and take some photos.
The city also has a thriving arts scene, with museums like the Tate Liverpool, Walker Art Gallery, and World Museum, sadly these are not dog friendly, but most are located at the waterfront, therefore you can have a wander with your dog and take in some of the fantastic architecture.
Getting around Liverpool city centre is easy on foot, there are lots of signposts and local guides dotted around who can help you out.
We explored the city as we made our way back to the train station, the area itself has undergone extensive renovation during recent years so is pretty vibrant and offers lots of shops, bars and restaurants, to keep in mind for future visits!
All in all, we had a good day and found the overall experience to be joyful with our dog.
If you are thinking of a wee day trip somewhere different with your pupper, team The Dog Witch would definitely recommend giving Liverpool a try.
If you plan to stay longer, there are some dog friendly hotels dotted around the city, you can find the latest offers on booking.com
If you give Liverpool a try with your dog, we’d love to know how you get on.
