Verified dog-friendly Bristol Bridge Inn
Situated on Bristol Road in Highbridge, the Bristol Bridge Inn is named after the historic crossing over the River Brue. It offers a relaxed, unhurried change of scenery for dog owners looking beyond the typical coastal spots.
Positioned slightly inland, it serves as a ideal base to kick off a range of distinct rural and countryside treks. You can take a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path walk along the grassy banks of the nearby Huntspill River, or make the short drive northeast to tackle the rewarding climb up Brent Knoll, where you and your dog will be treated to sweeping 360-degree views across the Somerset Levels.
Whether you are settling in after a cross-country hike or dropping in for a quiet pint, this friendly local spot provides a cosy resting place for two-legged and four-legged visitors alike.
