Cockermouth voted the U.K.'s most Dog Friendly Town
Cockermouth has been named the ‘most dog friendly town’ in the whole of the UK, at a major national awards.
Today, November 20 Cockermouth was named the Most Dog Friendly Town in the UK at the 2025 Dog Friendly Awards, held at the Kennel Club in London and presented by TV Vet Dr Paul Manktelow.
The Dog Friendly Awards are an opportunity to recognise and reward dog friendly places and pet businesses that go the extra mile for the benefit of the UK’s 12.5 million dogs and their owners. Winners of the Dog Friendly Awards in each of the categories are chosen by public vote.
In a post on social media, the Cockermouth Chamber of Trade said: “Its barkingly brilliant for our businesses who welcome four-legged visitors through their doors.
“Joe, Andrew and Suzanne have been all the way to The Kennel Club in London to pick up the prize! Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us.”
