    The River Lune walk to The Water Witch is one of the finest short pub walks in Lancaster — flat, dog-friendly, and ending at a west-facing canal-side beer garden that catches the evening sun perfectly. Start at St George's Quay and follow the river path west along the southern bank. The path is wide, well-maintained, and suitable for all dogs.
