    Adults only parks that also allow dogs

    Hi Mrs Sprocket We stayed at The Ashes Adults only site at New Hutton - just outside Kendal for three weeks in the summer. The dog also had a fab time. The only down side is that the dog walk on site is just a small piece of grass , however, there are a number of bridle ways around the village.
