The Great British Dog Walk took place around the grounds of Belvoir Castle on Sunday, June 17, and many families, couples, independent walkers and organised walking groups attended to lap up its doggy-loving vibe.

The event attracted 236 people and over 200 of their VIPs (very important puppies) completed the three or eight kilometre stroll.
