After a very foggy start we ended up with a bit of sunshine on Leckhampton Hill, one of my favourite walks. I love it that much I have even written a blog post about it (link in my bio) #winterwalks

This is my ‘I am not impressed’ face. I am happy for Ollie the Collie to come and stop but not happy when he nicks my bed in front of the fire. I shall have to upgrade myself to the sofa #notimpressed #woodburner #cozynightin #nofireworkshere #bestfriends

An autumn day out #nationaltrust Berrington Hall near Leominster, #Herefordshire with Ollie the Collie who is on a sleepover. #berringtonhall is a Georgian mansion designed by Henry Holland set in parkland laid out by Capability Brown.
The great news is dogs are welcome in the gardens, parklands and Stable Tearoom (not the Old Servants Tearoom). Well worth a visit on chilly autumn day.

If you like #gameofthrones then you must visit #sanjuandegaztelugatze which is #dragonstone in series 7.
It is on the #basquecoastline in #northernspain and we visited while we were touring in our #campervan. If you want to know the nearest place to stay overnight with a great sunset then check out our blog post on adventuresinourvan.com

After a lovely walk in the Forest of Dean we popped into Harts Barn Teashop. Tasty cakes and I even got a sausage as a little snack so I wasn’t left out.
Harts Barn was originally a hunting lodge but as the Forest of Dean decreased in size it became a working farm and Speechhouse took over as the hunting lodge of the Forest.
The Teashop originally was the cattle hay and grain store. The conversion of the farm buildings began in 1995.
Harts Barn Craft Centre and Tea Shop is situated between Longhope & Mitcheldean and well worth a visit to refuel both humans and doggies (51.864165 -2.471665) #hartsbarncraftcentre #coffeeandcakes #dogfriendly #forestofdean #autumwalks #adventureswithdogs #adventuresinourvan

Last morning beach walk, moving on north today.

Ok, I think my mad pawrent needs to stop buying wine in cartons. She put wine in her coffee this morning (still drank it!) and last night topped up her wine with milk #winemixup #gottolaugh #wastenotwantnot #holidayfuntimes #campervanning #europetravel #travelbloggerlife

Can you spot me in the first photo? Close up in the second photo!
Apparently I was not suppose to disappear over the edge and somehow end up in the river at the bottom of the gorge. I am now called Finn the mountain goat. This was a walk to find out where we could park the campervan to do the Ruta Del Cares walk the following day. For the full on gorge walk I am told I need to be on a lead at all times, not sure why........#stupidboy #givingmumkittens #amazingviews #picosdeeuropa #rutadelcares #ilovewater

Another day in the #campervan and another river and another swim. Apparently I am a very lucky boy 🐶 🐾.
If you are thinking of visiting #cangasdeonis in your own #motorhome there is a free stopover (43.352136 -5.125419) in town where I am led believe there are lots of bars and restaurants. I had to snooze under a couple of tables while the paw parents tested them out! #picosdeeuropa #spainroadtrip #keepingcool #adventuresinourvan

My paw parents are busy eating, drinking & taking in the view. I hope a walk comes soon. They better not have too much to drink!!!

Stunning to wake up to this view this morning in the Parque Natural de Somiedo. The temperature was a bit of a shock to the system at 5 degrees! We parked at 4078ft, no wonder it was a quiet night. #somiedoparquenatural #chillycampervan #longwalkies #northernspainroadtrip #letsgetmoving

One of our favourite places so far on this trip in Northern Spain. It started cloudy and then the sun came out for us as we walked around. The town looks so small viewed from the coadt but as you walk up the hill away from the tourist area it spreads out to be a busy little town with every local shop you would need. You would definitely be fit if you lived there it is a steep climb from the bottom to the top. The extra bonus is that there is a free motorhome stopover (43.567973 -6.153212) #cudillero #steepclimb #freeovernightparking #northernspainroadtrip

I love diving! It took a while for me to get my confidence in the water and I didn't swim until I was about 2 years old. Now you can't keep me away, especially when I need to cool down in this hot Spanish sunshine. This was the perfect spot just outside Llanes #swimmingdogs #pullups #dogscoolingoff #icandive #barru #spain

Another early morning beach walk. Although this looks like I get my pawparents up really early, actually sunrise is about 7.45am so don't feel sorry for them! They loved the walk as well, maybe not quite as much as the coffee and croissants afterwards! #sunrisewalk #lovingthebeachlife #campingfun #paddling #spanishsun #wherenext

Another late night swimming session at the dog friendly beach next to our campsite, Camping El Rosal in Northern Spain. Feeling very sleepy now. I wonder if we will still be here in the morning??? I never know what adventures tomorrow will bring. I love 💕 my camoervan! #swimmingdogs #summersun #lovemystick #northernspain #campervanfun

El Capricho (43.383685 -4.292713) which only took 2 years to build (1883-1885) is a small palace designed by a young Gaudi. One of only 3 buildings that are not in Catalonia. If you are in Northern Spain I would highly recommend a visit., I loved it. Only €5 entrance fee which includes a really interesting tour in English at 12:30 & 16:30. Great news is that dogs are welcome in the grounds on leads.
If you are travelling in your Motorhome you can stop for free in low season right on the sea front (43.390564 -4.290216) in Comillas which is only a 20min walk from the El Capricho. We had a lovely peaceful night there with about 20 other vans in mid September. #gaudiarchitecture #elcapricho #sunflowers #dogfriendly #comillascantabria #spainbycamper #cantabria
