Dog holiday by train from London

[MumofGreyhound]

Hello, I’m looking for suggestions please.
I want to take DDog on a weekend break.
We will travel by train from London so somewhere with a train station.
The dog is the purpose of the trip, so we don’t need anything to do ourselves, just looking for recommendations of somewhere we can have lovely walks, dog-friendly pub for dinner too.

Which is your easiest London mainline station and how long would your dog be happy on a train for?!

Poole is very dog friendly, and dogs can go on the beach at this time of year. Our dog was treated as an honored guest!

@MyCatPrefersPeaches We are sort of equal between KingsX/St Pancras, Waterloo, Liverpool St - central living! She is happy on the train, we’ve done up to 2 hours on a train to visit family before. But she doesn’t not enjoy buses and we’ve never had a car nor taken her in a taxi.

Suffolk is extremely dog-friendly! You could take the train from Liverpool St to Ipswich & change there to get to Woodbridge, or Saxmundham.

New Forest? Tons of great walks / dog friendly pubs. Mainline station of Brockenhurst is less than two hours from Waterloo, and tends to be served by all the fast trains. Branch line from Brock to Lymington for the coast.

North Kent coast?

Kings Cross to Kings Lyn. Then there’s a coastal hopper bus along the Norfolk coast. Norfolk is probably the very best county for dogs. There are literally miles of dog friendly beaches, my dog’s favourites ate Brancaster and Wells to Holkham. Many cafes and pubs are dog friendly and so are hotels and self catering accommodation.

Brighton

I live in Worcestershire and it's lovely for dogs. Get the train from Paddington to Great Malvern. Walk up the hills. Lunch at the Malvern Hills Hotel near British Camp or the community run Brewers Arms pub in West Malvern. Lots of town centre pubs and cafes are also dog friendly.
