Dog goes west with a joint 7 letters

[shoemad]

The answer is a place between Land's End and John o Groats.
The clue can be cryptic, an anagram, or just simply a clue, but I can't come up with anything.
I've looked on Answerbank but although it's been posted a few times, no one seems to have come up with an answer.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I came up with an answer but can't remember what it was!!

Godney ... (dog written from east to west + knee) ??

have to be Godkney to fit but perhaps that's the Viking spelling

Hi sunny_dave just remembered and it was Godney-I gave the explanation at the time.Thought it might be a bit iffy then

[slaney]

Godstow??

Rodarbal Spliff

< just up the road from me, near Eldoop Tenon >

possibly ...

Is answer definitely a place, if it was a dog then Whippet would be good (W hip pet)

[shoemad]

yes, has to be a place or area on the route.
Godney sounds as though it should be right, but missing a letter

I've been checking. Actually it was Godwell I suggested but I think it's too iffy-Godney sounds better.God-dog backwards w for with and ell for L-a type of joint
