Cunningham's Outdoors in Hawkshead is a flagship outdoor clothing and equipment shop where dogs are welcome inside while you browse. Whether you're kitting out for a long-distance walk or replacing rain-soaked gear mid-trip, you can bring your dog along without leaving them tied outside.

The shop stocks outdoor clothing, footwear, camping kit and walking equipment – useful for visitors and locals tackling the fells or needing practical kit for Lake District weather. It's a proper outdoor retailer serving the area around Hawkshead and Ambleside, with a focus on walkers and explorers.

Dogs can shop with you through the store, making it easy to pick up supplies before or after a walk without the usual lead-and-bag juggle outside. It's particularly handy for anyone moving between Hawkshead and Ambleside who needs to restock without splitting the group.
