Khyam’s data analysts used AllTrails and Trip Advisor to find the best dog-friendly pubs for a relaxing pint and a warm fire, identifying the local pubs that serve as a way/endpoint along each route.

They compared total review numbers and the number of ‘Excellent’ reviews on Trip Advisor scores to find the best experiences. The reviews were also used to determine if the pubs were dog friendly and if they had a real fire.
