- Dog Notes:
Nicky Nook in Lancashire is a great place for energetic dogs that enjoy varied terrain. The open fell and woodland paths offer good exercise. However, sheep often graze the fellside of Nicky Nook, so dogs MUST be kept on leads or under very close and reliable control when livestock are present. Be mindful of ground-nesting birds during spring and summer on the open fell. The reservoirs (like Grizedale) may have specific rules or advice regarding dogs entering the water. Remember to bring water for your dog on this Lancashire adventure.
