Hello all!
I have two dogs and am looking to escape the usual hassles over Bonfire night and as many days before and after the main event that I can.
Does anyone out there please know of any sites in the North West / North East that are free from or unaffected by fireworks?
Any advice or recommendations gratefully received.
Thank you

To be honest I can't think of anywhere that might be quiet, even up on Exmoor etc. people in villages have fireworks in their gardens etc. I find hill areas noisy as the sounds bounce off, even from a distance. Maybe somewhere quiet on the levels might suit?

It just wasn’t something we were aware of at the time. We would probably have enjoyed it without the pooches.
Sadly, it’s ten years ago that dreadful incident on the M5 happened in this area as well. Foggy night led to absolute mayhem, keep safe everyone.

We’re now looking for another firework free zone for New Year’s Eve between Plymouth and North Somerset if anyone has any ideas

Many thanks indeed for your replies, comments and recommendations. Am following up on those but just looking for any site really - priority is the dogs - so Club, CL or other...
Fully understand there are no guarantees, just want to do my best as last year was an absolute nightmare; especially for my oldest dog who experiences uncontrollable tremors and simply wants to find the smallest, darkest space in which she can hide.
Dave - Thanks, and just for info in case others are looking too, I had a reply from Troutbeck Head who say they do suffer from a nearby property so I will ring Coniston tomorrow.

- when do you start buying Easter eggs!
Will update this discussion to let you and others know how I get on.
Best wishes,

We had a different reply from Troutbeck Head about fireworks (we did check the "events" on the activity centre too). Just returned after a very peaceful (excluding the wind on Saturday night) few days there, our very fearful dog chilled completely. Although we made the "mistake" of thinking that Southport on a Monday night would be safe (sadly we had one short burst of bangs - that had our boy shaking and trying to get away)
