# Dog-Friendly Pubs & Walks Around Lacock: A Local Guide
Lacock and the surrounding Wiltshire countryside are perfect for a day out with your four-legged friend. With beautiful countryside, historic streets, woodland paths and plenty of places to explore, it's easy to combine a good walk with a well-earned drink or bite to eat afterwards.
If you're looking for **dog-friendly walks around Lacock** or somewhere to stop for food and drinks with your dog, here's our local guide.
## Exploring Lacock With Your Dog
The historic village of Lacock is one of Wiltshire's most popular places to visit, and it's easy to see why.
Managed largely by the National Trust, the village is famous for its historic buildings, traditional streets and connections with films and television including Harry Potter and Downton Abbey.
It's also surrounded by some fantastic Wiltshire countryside, making Lacock a great starting point for a walk.
There are a number of footpaths around the village and surrounding countryside, so you can easily turn a visit to Lacock into a longer walk before heading somewhere for lunch or a drink.
## Dog-Friendly Walks Around Lacock & Bowden Hill
For those wanting to explore beyond the village itself, the countryside around **Bowden Hill** offers some lovely walking routes and fantastic views.
The network of local footpaths gives you plenty of options, whether you're looking for a shorter stroll or something more substantial.
One of the best things about this part of Wiltshire is being able to escape the busier areas around Lacock village and enjoy the open countryside.
And, of course, every good country walk needs a pub at the end of it.
## A Dog-Friendly Country Pub Near Lacock
The Rising Sun sits on Bowden Hill, just outside Lacock, surrounded by beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
Dogs are very welcome at the pub, making us a great place to stop before, during or after a walk around Lacock and the surrounding area.
We have a **large garden with countryside views**, giving you plenty of outdoor space to relax when the weather is good.
Dogs are welcome inside too, so a bit of typical British weather doesn't have to ruin your plans.
There's nothing better after a long countryside walk than finding a table, ordering a drink and letting somebody else worry about cooking.
## Fresh Pub Food, Local Drinks & Sunday Roasts
We serve freshly cooked pub food throughout the week, with a menu built around proper country pub favourites and seasonal ingredients.
You'll also find local beers and ciders alongside wines, spirits and cocktails at the bar.
If your walk happens to fall on a Sunday, you can finish it with one of our **Sunday roasts**, complete with giant Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings.
Our Sunday lunches can get particularly busy, so booking ahead is recommended.
## A Great Stop When Visiting Lacock
You don't need to be heading out on a huge countryside walk either.
If you're spending the day exploring **Lacock and Lacock Abbey**, The Rising Sun is just outside the village and makes an easy stop for lunch, dinner or a drink.
We're also within easy reach of Chippenham and the surrounding Wiltshire villages, making the pub a good meeting point if you're travelling from different directions.
With our countryside setting, large garden and dog-friendly approach, you don't have to leave your four-legged family member at home.
## Planning Your Dog-Friendly Day Out in Lacock
A simple day out could look something like this:
Start with a wander around historic Lacock village, head out onto one of the surrounding countryside footpaths towards Bowden Hill, then finish at The Rising Sun for some food and a well-earned drink.
If you're planning a longer walk, there are plenty of public footpaths around the area to explore before making your way back.
Just remember that much of the surrounding countryside is working farmland, so keep dogs under close control around livestock and follow the Countryside Code.
