Incredible trail, the best of the South West in my opinion. Certainly was challenging in places. I did it in 51 hours and there were some naughty hills and terrain in there. I didn't take my puppy but had she been an adult she would have been absolutely fine on this. I'm not sure why the description says unsuitable for dogs, I don't believe that to be the case. If you're anywhere in the South of England I would highly recommend this one.

It'll not blow your box apart and there's a lot of road walking, but there are some absolutely stunning sections with beautiful views. It's very rural with only a couple of places to buy food, but it was also amazingly quiet and we hardly saw any other humans despite it being a bank holiday weekend.
